 * We already can template pages… why not posts?
 * Allowing individual posts to be able to have their own template.

 * Don’t know if that will ever be a standard feature but for now [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-template/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-template/)

 * Ah… a plugin by Simon Wheatley. Right now it says it is broken, but I hope to
   see more work done with it before I try it out. 16 said it was broken while 4
   said it worked. Will at least test it out.
 * I am right now at the point where I am not really wanting to install a plugin…
   the whole resource use and my personal site, Blondish.net has almost 500 posts
   and pages total, and that was after I trimmed out 150 static pages the other 
   day.

 * Oops–sorry for that recommendation. [JHouse found a better solution](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/354624?replies=4#post-1360202)
   with this plugin:

 * The post template feature would be great. I am, however, using Nathan Rice’s 
   plugin for that on sites I designed for clients. So, that’s a good interim solution.
   But having the post template functions built into the WordPress core is definitely
   on my wish list.

 * And, a theme that supports custom post templates:

 * I design my own… but I am about to blog about it at WPAddict, and I will include
   that Hybrid supports it, as well as the alterate plugins available.
 * I am wondering if anyone submitted this to the Ideas…or if not… maybe it should
   be submitted?

 * The Custom Post Templates not-working-ness was fixed some weeks back now… but,
   ooops, I had some stray version numbers when I resubmitted it and the new version
   wasn’t showing up on the plugin page.
 * Short version: try Custom Post Templates now, it should work now.

 * Will try it out Simon. Might exercise it on WPAddict to try it out.
