Blog titles not parsing

Hi Sam,

I commented out the titles to force Venus to get the titles from the  
rss and atom feeds like Planet does (and to see if I could narrow down  
why it gets the titled from the feeds in some cases, and not in others  
(I couldn't)).

I'll try the template change you suggested, but I had assumed  
'classic_fancy' in Venus would be identical to 'fancy' in Planet,  
which does pick up the titles.

Regards,
Gordon
