 * Hi all,
 * I am trying to get my blog’s post titles to be links…so when I click them it 
   will just be the post on the page instead of the whole blog.
 * How can I get my post title to be a permalink?
 * I saw someone posted a similar question a year ago, and someone else suggested
   he edit his theme. I didn’t understand what to do and now that forum post is 
   closed.
 * Can anyone suggest what I can do? I’m not good at coding and in fact I’m not 
   sure which WordPress version I’m using!!
 * Thanks all.

 * It will depend upon your theme but something like:
 * `<h2 class="post-title">><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title
   ="<?php the_title_attribute( array('before' => __('Permalink to '), 'after' =
   > '') ); ?>"><?php the_title();?></a></h2>`
 * in your theme’s index.php template file should do the trick.

 * Thanks…..but “something like” this will work?

 * Oh God…and I have to change permissions and all that. I don’t know what the hell
   I’m doing. I thought WordPress was supposed to make things easy!
 * Looks like I gotta find someone who knows coding….
