Q: How to display post title before blog title in Search Engine Results Page(SERP) and in the browser Title Bar?
Answer:
If you are publishing your blog through Blogger or Blogspot, its default setting when you publish your post is Blog Title + Post Title. For example if the title of your blog is Blogging Guide for Beginners and the title of your post is Top 10 Easy Ways to Make Money Online by Blogging, when you hit the publish button and view your post it will appear as Blogging Guide for Beginners ~ Top 10 Easy Ways to Make Money Online by Blogging.
Our website or blog has many competitors in Search Engine Results Page or SERP and if your blog was not optimized so that the Post Title will appear first before the Blog title, you are at loss in terms of search engine optimization(SEO).
When people search for keywords in search engine, they want that what they are typing in the search box will have the same results in SERP. So if your blog is not optimized in a format Post Title + Blog Title, you will loss a lot of potential visitors to your blog.
Again for example, let us use the following:
Blog Title: Blogging Guide for Beginners
Post Title: Top 10 Easy Ways to Make Money Online by Blogging
In Search Engine Results Page, if your blog is set in format Blog Title + Post Title, it will look like something like this:
Blogging Guide for Beginners - Top 10 Easy Ways to Make Money Online by Blogging
But the above example is not what SERP will display. The search engine may notice that the entry is too long and delete the some of the keywords to the right. So instead of a complete info, the result will be:

<head>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>

<title><data:blog.pageName/> ~ <data:blog.title/></title>
</b:if>
4. The final code will appear like this:
Options: the character ~ are shown directly in the title and does not represent any code, so you can change it with another characters like @, -, |, #, etc if you wish.
You can check whether the codes are working or not by opening one of your posts, and observe its title on the upper part of your browser. For example, in Mozilla Firefox, we can view the title of the page near the upper border of the window (with dark blue background).
5. Then save the template, and the next time a search engine crawl your blog, the new setting will be applied impressively.<head>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'><title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title><b:else/><title><data:blog.pageName/> ~ <data:blog.title/></title></b:if>
