I am using the starter master pages from Codeplex, and I want to have the current SiteName on each page. What is the best way to do that dynamically?

Insert <SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Title" runat="server"/> into the masterpage where you want it.

Or if you want it like the default v4.master with a being in the PlaceHolderSiteName ContentPlaceHolder as a link, then use

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderSiteName" runat="server">
    <SharePoint:SPLinkButton runat="server" NavigateUrl="~site/" id="onetidProjectPropertyTitle"><SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Title" runat="server" /></SharePoint:SPLinkButton>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

There is a out of the box content placeholder containing the site name that can be placed inside your masterpage. I believe Randy has it included in the block of content placeholders at the bottom of the page, and you can just bring it up to where you want it.

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderSiteName" runat="server"/>

I know. I tried that but it doesn't return any data... – mmcglynn Jun 7 '12 at 15:18

Confirm your site has a name: Site Settings -> Title, Description and Icon. – webdes03 Jun 7 '12 at 15:23

Inserting an empty ContentPlaceHolder will require every PageLayout/Page to add the ProjectProperty inside – Per Jakobsen Jun 7 '12 at 19:45
Title, Description and Icon have data. – mmcglynn Jun 8 '12 at 17:53
As Per stated (and I didn't really give you a full solution), <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderSiteName" runat="server"/> gives you the placeholder that you'd fill with the property. If that placeholder exists on your masterpage or page layout, then you can fill it with <SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Title" runat="server" /> which will return the site title from the "Title, Description, and Icon" configuration. – webdes03 Jun 9 '12 at 14:04
