Blog Title not showing up on main Blog page

I cannot get the main blog page with the current blog to show the current blog title. It shows on all other pages, just not the current/most recent blog. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

div id="page"

    div id="contentleft"

        ?php if ( $paged  2 ) { // Do stuff specific to first page?

        ?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=featuredshowposts=1');
        while ($my_query-have_posts()) : $my_query-the_post();
         $do_not_duplicate = $post-ID;?

        div class="featurepost" id="post-?php the_ID(); ?"

            h2a href="?php the_permalink() ?" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to ?php the_title(); ?"?php the_title(); ?"?php the_title(); ?"?php the_title(); ?/a/h2

            p class="postinfo"By ?php the_author_posts_link(); ? on ?php the_time('M j, Y') ? in ?php the_category(', ') ? | ?php comments_popup_link('0 Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ??php edit_post_link('Edit', ' | ', ''); ?/p

            div class="entry"
                    ?php the_content('Read the rest'); ?
                /div

        /div

    ?php endwhile; ?

I believe that first page is your index.php, and I would guess that the code within that file is different from single.php, which is the file used by pages 2 onwards.
