   How can I start each post with the same boilerplate text? This seems to be the only Blogger feature I miss.

   put the boilerplate text in a text file, then use an include statement in your template to insert the file with the boilerplate text.

   Sorry, I didn't give the full story, I want a common starting place for each post that's then customzed. It's basically a placeholder for an image:
   <img src="http://www.leepotts.com/placeholder.jpg" alt="ALT TEXT" align="left" width="118" height="120" border="0">

   It's bacially a placeholder for the image in the upper left of most of the posts here: http://www.leepotts.com/tehi
   Here's an actually example from one of the live posts:
   <img src="http://www.leepotts.com/040723PHIL.jpg" alt="PHIL: The Public Health Image Library" align="left" border="0" height="120" width="118" />
