WordPress Quick Tips #1:
Embedding HTML in Post Titles
Did you know that you can embed HTML tags in the titles of your posts? I didn’t until I wanted to create a two-line title the other day. But now, after my “D’oh” moment, I suspect I might be making frequent use of this little feature.
For example, the title of this post has two lines and italic text. The HTML I used is as follows:
WordPress Quick Tips #1:<br/><em>Embedding HTML in Post Titles</em>
Just remember that your permalink (the URL of your post) may look a bit screwy if you don’t edit out the HTML. This is what WordPress did to the permalink of this post:

The HTML brackets are removed but the tags themselves remain, mangling the text. So don’t forget to tidy up your permalinks before publishing your HTML-enhanced titles.

Well, everything’s just about sorted, but we discovered something strange yesterday when playing with Google. In a Google search for “Brandon’s Buzz”, there were no results for his site More >

Hey Mike,
I’m trying to do the same thing. I might have missed something but I can’t see how you did that. Do you have any example on how to use html in the title?
Thanks.
