Description

Displays information about your blog, mostly gathered from the information you supply in your User Profile and General Options from the WordPress Administration panels (Settings → General). It can be used anywhere within a page template. This always prints a result to the browser. If you need the values for use in PHP, use get_bloginfo().

Usage

 <?php bloginfo( $show ); ?> 

Parameters
