    I can never decide which title is the correct one when there's a difference between the <title> element and the text presented on-screen as the headline. I've very specifically chosen to include both here because I think they both are good—feel free to change this if someone disagrees.

        Conversely, because people will read the title in the body of the text regardless, you may as well use just <title> as the post title instead.
