Ah. At last we have post titles in Blogger. Here are the fun things you can do with them: [this space intentionally left blank].

To use the new title field, go to the Settings page, Formatting tab (gotta find an easier way to say that), and change “Show Title Field” to “Yes” and save changes. When you go back to the posting page, there will be a Title input field above the posting textarea. To display the title, in your template, between <Blogger> and </Blogger>, include:


<PostSubject><$BlogItemSubject$></PostSubject>


You can include any formatting tags (except <blink>) you like between <PostSubject> and </PostSubject>, because that whole section is only inserted in the post when you enter a title for the post. However, you cannot include other bloggerTags inside <PostSubject>, so no using the title for the permalink, and like other <$BlogItem… tags, <$BlogItemSubject$> only has meaning inside the <Blogger> to </Blogger> section, so you can’t use it for an automatic index to posts (maybe once there is per-post archiving?).
