Hi Eric, I have noticed several times that the word "Title" is showing up as one of my top keywords found on my sites using Tubepress. When I track down the word on the pages that are showing for this keyword in my Google webmaster account, they point to the Tubepress code for each thumbnail here:

<dt class="tubepress_meta tubepress_meta_title">[b]Title[/b]</dt>

Do you think it would be okay to remove the text "Title" from the code?

It appears to be hidden text as it's set to

display: none

in the css. The word "Text" is obviously showing up in search results because of how many times it's appearing across all of the tubepress pages on the site, and for each thumbnail.

Hi Larry,

I looked through the code and didn't see anything that really depends on having the text "Title" in the HTML, so you should be OK to remove it.

Thanks Eric. I'm going to remove it tomorrow and see what happens. If anything goes wrong, I'll post back so nobody else tries it also. I just want to try and get it out of the code because according to my analytics account, it's showing up almost 4000 times!!!!

Here's what I did and it removed the hidden text 'Title"

removed the following from line 36 of
tubepress/classes/org/tubepress/template/template.class.php

metaLabels

which was between the single quotes like this

const META_LABELS = 'metaLabels';

It seems to be working fine.

Thanks.
