 In the Posts list, if an item doesn't have a title, (no title) in place of
 the title isn't helpful, and makes it difficult when a page has lots of
 singular posts.

 Suggested solution: Grab the first N chars of the body, or first sentence
 (easy with regex) or add a tool tip with the same text.

 I write a lot of "singular" posts, ie posts without titles.

 Happy to share JS code that works.
