My Template for Wordpress

I was not very satisfied with how Wordpress handled the titles of the pages, so I changed it a bit. I give you the code here, maybe its useful to you:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="< ?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=< ?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
< ?
if (is_category() OR is_date()) {
$tit = get_bloginfo('name') . " - " . wp_title("","") ;
} else {
if (is_home()) {
$tit = get_bloginfo('name') . " a nerd BLOG from Bali, spidering my own web";
} else {
$tit = wp_title("","");
}
}
$tit = str_replace("2005 ", "Two Thousand Five ", $tit);
$tit = str_replace("2006 ", "Two Thousand Six ", $tit);
$tit = str_replace("2007 ", "Two Thousand Seven ", $tit);
$tit = str_replace("2008 ", "Two Thousand Eight ", $tit);
$tit = str_replace(" ", "", $tit);
$kw = get_bloginfo('name').wp_title("","") ;
$kw = str_replace(" ", ",", $kw);
$kw = str_replace(" ", ",", $kw);
$dsc = get_bloginfo('name')." writes about" . wp_title("","");
$dsc = str_replace(" ", " ", $dsc);
?>
<title>< ? print $tit; ?>
<meta name="keywords" content="< ?php print $kw; ?>">
<meta><meta name="description" content="<? print $dsc; ?>"></meta>

2. Thanks, still need to do something about readability and so…and I just noticed that I need to replace < with & lt ; or else html doesn’t show… and the rest of the page gets messed up….
