 * Am I making a mistake by including HTML in the title field of my post?
 * Here’s the relevant line from my index.php. Note that I’ve removed the permalink
   stuff and am simply displaying the post title.
 * `code`<h3 class=”storytitle” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?
   ></h3>`code`
 * In the title field, I’m entering things like:
 * `<a href="http://www.google.ca">This is the post title</a>`
 * WP 1.5 seems quite happy to let me do this, but I’d appreciate the opinion of
   somone who’s more technically expert than I am.

 * You can do what you please, really. The only thing that would have me worried
   is how to get the users to the page that has the single post and comments. Maybe
   you can add a link for that permalink somewhere else.

 * Thank you very much, carthik. Yes, I’m putting the permalink into the meta div.
