So this is a really hacked together plugin right now. It works, and I don’t think it should mess anything up, but the coding isn’t pretty and it does some weird things depending on which browser you’re using. I have been frustrated with WordPress’ lack of ability to put subtitles in magazines. It is pretty obvious that WordPress isn’t designed perfectly for it. There are an awful lot of bloggers[1][2][3], and there is even one company that claims to have a plugin for subtitles but hasn’t made it available for download. who have written on how to use custom fields on your blog to create subtitles. Anyhow, I don’t want to scroll down to the custom fields part of my entry screen, but I do want subtitles.
My plugin allows you to add subtitles by typing the_subtitle() into your theme. It actually does just create a custom field, but it’s in a location that is convenient (right under the Title input), and it’s got an appropriate tab (right after the title input). So, basically, it’s easy to use and convenient. I’ve only tested it in a WordPress 2.5 installation, and I doubt it works in anything much older.
Try it out, let’s debug the sucker together. It’s got a few problems, but nothing too terrible.

This is great. Validates perfectly and is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Brilliant. Small aesthetic problem: I think you’re using absolute positioning; the field doesn’t move when WP display the AJAX-loaded notification after saving (‘Page updated. Continue editing below or go back.’), resulting in the Title field ending up below the Subtitle field.
Enable the visual editor to see some more problems of the absolute positioning. The subtitle input field floats above the toolbar of the visual editor.
Also what as a result?
thanks for this plugin
but where i have to place the_subtitle() exactly while using twenty ten theme to show the subtitles (file name and location of of code where i have to place this code)
Cool plugin its helpful for seo as well i will definitely refer this plugin to my friends.
