 * To display the title, you have to insert in a loop 🙂
    And probably you have 
   to rewrite it something like this 😉
 *     ```
       <?php if (is_single()) {
       	echo 'Welcome Guest! Do you like ';
               echo the_title();
               echo ' ?';
   
       } else {
       	echo '';
       }
       ?>
       ```

 * dont mix php code into string output.
 * read [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_title](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_title)
 * for instance, try:
 *     ```
       <?php if (is_single()) {
       	echo ('Welcome Guest! Do you like '.the_title('','',false).'?');
       } else {
       	echo ('');
       }
       ?>
       ```
