# Adding content before a post

 * I’ve found a bunch of plugins that allow me to insert content everywhere in a
   post: before, after, in the middle of, underneath, on top of, inside of…anyway,
   a bit of overkill. Is there a simple code I can throw in functions.php that allows
   me to put a simple line of HTML before the title of each post?
 * I tried using this CSS to achieve this,
    ` #post-title:before {content: "<p class
   =pretitle>Today's episode</p>";}  but CSS places it inline and I need it on the
   previous line.
 * Oh, I also found PHP code telling me how to insert things in footnotes and at
   the end of each post, but I need this at the beginning.
 * Thanks!

 * OK, here’s how I found to get text inserted at the bottom of a post, but I don’t
   understand how this function figures out WHERE to put the content…how do I tell
   it to place it at the top?
    ` <?php // add custom post content add_filter('the_content','
   add_post_content'); function add_post_content($content) { $content .= '<p class
   =pre-title>Today’s Episode</p>'; return $content; } ?>
