Gee,  no sooner do I mention rotating titles then RocketJones puts up a howto.  Before I activate mine, I'll have to come up with some more cleverness.

Okay, the world didn't explode (where's the kaboom?)-- Good thing.

Both links now point to the newer post-- makes sense.
Bug or misfeature?

Okay, let's try something mean:

I note the links to individual posts are of the form "http://[sitename]/[post title].  Let's see what happens if you give the same title to two posts...

Successfully created a new "include" template!  Note the "Useful Stuff" in the sidebar.

(Observation:  Too much stuff "just works" around here.  THIS is a BETA?)
