Wanted: Wordpress custom post title plugin

At least that’s what I would call it.

I’m jealous. I just finished reading an article on Slate entitled In Your Face - How Facebook could crush MySpace, Yahoo!, and Google. And frankly, I want to steal their on-page post titles for my blog. I’m growing tired of dulling down my post titles all for the sake of SEO.

Slate has the perfect setup. Short, creative, reader attention-grabbing headlines preceding the keyword laden sub-headline that double as page titles. Great! Where can I get some?

If anybody knows how to pull off the aforementioned Slate effect, please share in the comments below. Ultimately, this would come in the form of a plugin but I’m willing to open up the hood if need be.

p.s. If a plugin like this already exists, shame on me for not looking harder.
p.s.s. It’s Sunday. I’m lazy.

    I am not sure, this is exactly what you are looking for but maybe you want to have a look at the All in One SEO Pack.

    Beside a lot of other functionality it also has the option to rewrite your title.

    Not exactly what I had in mind, but thanks. I’d like to write the custom post title on the fly without having to go back in and post-edit the title. Maybe something that utilizes the custom field would do the trick.

    Didn’t try the rewrite title function but with this Plugin you have a special field in your form where you can write your title. As far as I understood, there is no need going back.
    Another possibility would be using the custom fields. Somehow they are not very often used but very helpful. You can define your own keyword - value pairs and use for example the plugin ‘Get Custom Field Values’ http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/30/plugin-get-custom/ to show them into your template.

    Hi,

    I was looking for the same when I come across your entry. I found this http://5thirtyone.com/archives/875 - not exactly what I had in mind but seemed to be closest.
