Lots of the topics above are bad press for the author, talking about bugs and errors. Well, this is good press, it worked very well for me. It does exactly what I thought it would do, assigns a title to the page or post, separate from the h1 title. Great, thank you for writing it! Wordpress should integrate this as part of their standard package.
What I would really like is a way to dynamically set the title based on variables in my non-wp databases. It seems difficult to do without getting into the code itself which I want to avoid. Would require passing a variable to the get_header perhaps?
