Hi Waldek,
very useful information on this post, as usual :)
About checking if the current page is the home page. Did you try also IsWebWelcomePage from SPContextPageInfo?
Works as anonymous too, on a publishing site, for me.
SPContext ctx = SPContext.GetContext(web);
bool isWelcomePage = ctx.ContextPageInfo.IsWebWelcomePage;

@Phil: I think there is a difference between the hierarchical title of the page which depends on where the page is being located/displayed and the title of the page itself. In most scenario's I try to keep those two apart, meaning I store only the page title with the page and then in the Master Page I use a custom control that renders a hierarchical title in the title tag just like showed above.

The scenario would really be that whenever a page is created/amended, that the title tag on the page includes the page title and site the page is in.

My gut feeling is to add the text into a column using an event receiver when the page is updated and change the FieldName value of PlaceHolderPageTitle in the page layouts – that way there is only a lookup to a single column value rather than querying site/page titles on page load.

Keep up the good work on the blog – especially the excellent solutions you publish to extend the WCM features

@Phil: I guess it all depends on your scenario and what exactly are you trying to achieve.

Some good information here, Waldek – thanks.

In your experience, what is the best way of changing the page title through code? Delegate control, event receiver setting a text column when the page is updated, etc.
