   I noticed <?php the_title(); ?> doesn't work outside the loop. What would be a good way of calling the post title outside the loop.

   Thanks.

   dint get u exactly ...

   but try this

   <ul>
   		<?php
         $catposts = get_posts('numberposts=10&category=17');
         foreach($catposts as $post) :
      ?>
      <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
      <?php endforeach; ?>
   	</ul>

   you can use this for showing only titles of post from a partioular category...here 10 is the number of posts and 17 is the category id

   How about using wp_title() or single_post_title()?

   Thanks guys, esmi: <?php single_post_title(); ?> did the trick. Thanks.

   On the same subject, I have a bit of code that outputs a 'you are here' kind of thing, but it gets displayed before the loop.

   How do I get the single_post_title() for that post when the code generating it is before the loop?
