It's a common question in the support forums. The general "wisdom" is to
suggest entering a valid title. If the user truly doesn't know how to edit
their theme and remove the tag that displays the title, we suggest using CSS
to :none the display instead.

Personally, I'd just remove the tag from the theme, but maybe I'm overly
pragmatic.
