A common question comes up often from friends who are starting out using Joomla for the first time. How to disable Joomla from displaying the Site Name Title?

Joomla version 1.0 and 1.5 by default will display the site name on the home page. It's not obvious where to disable this. You would think it would be from the Fontpage manager, but it's not that easy. To disable the Site Name from appearing on the home page, you have to disable it from the Main Menu Manager. This is where it would be by default...

1. Go to the Main Menu manager, select "Home" menu item. This is the default menu item on initial installation of "Articles >> Frontpage"
2. Expand "Parameters (System)".
3. Set "Show Page Title" to No.

Tada, refresh your page (F5) and you should see it disappear.

Kudos to Sam Phomsopha for this one.
