   hey all...

   i don't know php very well, i need to add a custom title to a home page in a banner (or leader) normal page titles for all pages and 404, and blog for the blog pages.

   i already have the snippet to remove the default page titles, i just need to put them back where i want them

   this is what i used before, and it works great, but i have nothing in there for if is_front_page

   function add_banner() {
       global $id, $post, $authordata;
       if (is_page()) {
           echo ('<div id="banner"><div id="banner-container"><h1>' . get_the_title() . "</h1></div></div>\n");
       } elseif (is_404()) {
           echo ('<div id="banner"><div id="banner-container"><h1>' . __('Not Found', 'thematic') . "</h1></div></div>\n");
       } elseif (is_home() || is_single()) {
           echo ('<div id="banner"><div id="banner-container"><h1>Blog</h1></div></div>');
       }
   }
   add_action('thematic_belowheader', 'add_banner');

   as soon as i add

   } elseif (is_front_page()) {
           echo ('<div id="banner"><div id="banner-container"><h1>front page title</h1></div></div>');
       }

   i just get a white screen

   thanks in advance...J

   @Jamie Mitchell: Maybe it's because I don't have a heavily customised child theme at the moment, so your code seems to work for me.

   could somebody add

   } elseif (is_front_page()) {
           echo ('<div id="banner"><div id="banner-container"><h1>front page title</h1></div></div>');
       }

   to the larger piece of code above, maybe i did it wrong when i did it, should it be in any order, like if is_front_page, before is_page or something

   much appreciated.

   @Jamie Mitchell: I'm not sure if I tested it correctly the first time, apologies. This slight change seems to work for me:

   function add_banner() {
       global $id, $post, $authordata;
       if (is_front_page()) {
           echo ('<div id="banner"><div id="banner-container"><h1>front page title</h1></div></div>');
       } elseif (is_404()) {
           echo ('<div id="banner"><div id="banner-container"><h1>' . __('Not Found', 'thematic') . "</h1></div></div>\n");
       } elseif (is_home() || is_single()) {
           echo ('<div id="banner"><div id="banner-container"><h1>Blog</h1></div></div>');
       } elseif (is_page()) {
           echo ('<div id="banner"><div id="banner-container"><h1>' . get_the_title() . "</h1></div></div>\n");
       }
   }
   add_action('thematic_belowheader', 'add_banner');

   All I've done is change the order so is_front_page is the first if.

   @Jamie Mitchell: Glad it worked out! I was mainly testing for non-white-screeness the first time round and forgot to check the actual output matched the ifs.

   I think, as you said in your post, it was mainly to do with the order of the ifs. What I found was, as a certain 'page' is defined as the static page, unless e.g. a single post was viewed, it would always display the name/title of the page and not 'front page title'.

   Learnt a teeny bit more about is_home, is_frontpage as a result, and this extra styling is really very nice! Hope that I can apply it properly to one of my sites soon.

   good stuff!

   here is the other half, to remove the titles.

   function remove_title($posttitle) {
       if (is_page()) {
           return '';
       } elseif (is_404()) {
           return $posttitle;
       } else {
       		return $posttitle;
       }
   }
   add_filter('thematic_postheader_posttitle', 'remove_title');
