It depends on your theme how exactly <title> is generated. At least some of it should be generated by wp_title() function, output of which you can filter at wp_title hook.
You can use the wp_title filter to modify the HTML document title, and you can use the wp_head action to hook in a custom HTML meta link. e.g.: <?php function wpse46249_filter_wp_title( $title ) { // $title contains the default document title // output by WordPress.

To wit: elseif( get_post_type($post->ID) == ‘press’ ){echo'<h2>’. get_the_title() .'</h2>’;} I believe this would … Read more

Disable all plugins. One of them puts all words with capital letters in a <span class=”caps”> container. In <meta property=”og:title” content=”test <span class=”caps”>CSS</span> title” /> … this closes the <head> section automatically because output is not allowed in <head>.
