Thanks! I should point out that we don’t have an issue with the site description. It’s rather that Discourse seems to change the site title to “Monthly …” because it’s the top page with monthly timeframe. But that doesn’t make much sense when the top page is set as the default homepage. It’s title should just stay the default site title.

I don’t know of a way to do this through the UI, so I’ve slipped it over to ux to see if that gets more eyes on it
