[ic] Template::Flute question

All of our pages use include files for the header, footer and nav sections.

Setting a variable allows the page designer and/or SEO person to set the 
HTML page title themselves rather than asking a programmer to change it 
inside the code.  The designers occasionally come up with other requests 
but <title>Variable Here</title> is the main one.

Thanks,
Dan
