Error using HTML in blog entry titles.

    I run an mp3 blog, and I want each entry to contain 1.) the title, 2.) the artist and, on the next line 3.) the genre. I want the genre to be in smaller text. I want all this to be above the posting date-line.

    At first, I tried:

    “The Lord God Bird” by Sufjan Stevens<br><font size=”1″>genre: Chamber-pop</font>

    Which produced the read-out:

    genre: Chamber-pop”>“The Lord God Bird? by Sufjan Stevens
    genre: Chamber-pop

    I then tried got fed up and decided to forget the font size code and just use upload an image tag that says the same thing:

    “The Lord God Bird” by Sufjan Stevens<br><img src=”http://www.jamisonlikewhat.com/images/page/genre/chamber-pop.GIF”&gt;

    This produced the read-out:

    “>“The Lord God Bird? by Sufjan Stevens

    For a first-hand example, the problem can be seen on my page, jamisonlikewhat.com.

    It also messes up the comment link.

    What is this mysterious tag that I keep getting? How can I get rid of it? Thanks.

    This is a bump, because I never got answers– I still can’t use HTML in entry titles, at all. It produces really weird code read-outs. Has this been resolved elsewhere?

    I am afraid that you just cannot do that.

    The post title is a permalink coded in the theme’s index.php with a single h2 tag.

    For post title formatting there is a nice plugin at:

    http://www.coldforged.org/plugins/

    While it was developed for 1.5, I see the site running 2.0.1, so it should work.

    I did not chech this plugin if it could fulfill all your reqirements but there seem to be awfully lot of options.

    Otherwise, it would mean introducing new database fields for the artist and the gentre.

    I am not very aquinted with the subject but there seem to be enough plugins dealing with media which you may apply or modify to your wish.
