When I have written a post on my main blog in wordpress mu and then try to submit the article to social media, it pulls the site name as opposed to the article name. This does not happen on any of the other sites. Is there a way to recode this?
My site is http://positiverealestateprofessionals.com
It would be a plus if you pointed at a specific article that you submitted as well as where it's showing up incorrectly. Thanks.
Right off I don't see an issue on your site but I'd rather find out what you;re looking at before I start looking at something different.

Here are three different links that were submitted to Stumble Upon.
If you notice all three of them have the same title in SU. This happens in Twitter, Facebook, and Mixx as well.
It's probably your theme.

Take a look at the title bar along the top of your browser of that page. You'll note that it's showing just the title of your blog and not the title of the Post.
Open up your theme's header.php file and take a look for where the title tag is generated. For a good comparison, take a look at how the default theme does it;s title tag:
http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-content/themes/default/header.php - Line #13
The wp_title tag is probably missing from your theme or what's in there is not working.
Of course you may also have a plugin that's affecting things as well but checking your theme's header.php file would be a start.
Hope this helps

Bingo, you hit the nail on the head. However, I did not like how it changed when I used the default line #13, so I went into one of the themes that built and inserted the <title></title> lines in and it works perfect. Thanks for the tip.
