Hack it in, and then move on

I know I’m supposed to like elegant code, but I really prefer a quick, brutal hack: Ruzz added Blogger API support to Big Blog Tool, but since the Blogger API still doesn’t support titles, he just added in his own title support by treating anything that comes before “:H:” as the headline. Ugly. Quick. Done. I like it.

20/20 foresight might be a little too much to ask for.
