 * I realize that this probably seems like a ridiculous question, but I am an absolute
   newbie at this and don’t want to screw up my code by guessing randomly.
 * The plugin info just says that once it is installed, I should “Place <?php if(
   function_exists(‘the_subheading’)) { the_subheading(‘<p>’, ‘</p>’); } ?> in your
   template files where you want it to appear.”
 * The problem is that I don’t know anything about the code, and therefore have 
   no idea where to place it to make it appear where I want! I’d like the subtitle
   to appear either immediately to the right of or directly under the main title.
   If it helps, I’m using the Ahimsa theme.

 * Hi,
 * I’ve just downloaded the Ahimsa theme in order to take a look for you.
 * There are a few options for you here, depending on what you would like the subheading
   to look like.
 * For each of the following examples, I have pasted the code in the M**ain Index
   Template** (index.php), on the line immediately after `<div class="entry">`.
 * The first example styles the subheading a little like the datetime / author information,
   but is left aligned:
 * `<?php if (function_exists('the_subheading')) { the_subheading('<h2><span class
   ="capsule">', '</span></h2>'); } ?>`
 * If however you just wanted to display the subheading in a larger, bold, black
   font, you could instead use:
 * `<?php if (function_exists('the_subheading')) { the_subheading('<h3>', '</h3>');}?
   >`
 * You could have it displayed as part of the main title (immediately afterwards)
   by using the adjusting the title tag so it looks like:
 *     ```
       <legend class='title'>
                           <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"
                               title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
                           <?php if (function_exists('the_subheading')) { the_subheading('', ''); } ?></a>
                       </legend>
       ```
   
 * I think the second option looks a little cleaner personally, but it’s up to you
   really 🙂
 * Also, you will have to do something similar to entry.php in order to get it displayed
   on the individual posts and pages.
 * Hope this helps!
