How do I censor certain words in blog and post titles? I see the place for "comment" blacklists but is there an application for blogs and posts?

You would have to add a plugin that does a string replace filter on the post title or body.

Floating somewhere around here is a quick snippet for an untitled posts plugin/hack that I put up several months ago. You could use that as a guide, and then find the right filters/actions to tie into.

There is a link for a how to write a plugin with a basic example that does exactly what you are asking for. The author writes it during the screencast and explains how it works.

Cool movie, mysorehead.

You probably have more than one word in mind to censor:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Fix bad words.
*/

function fix_bad_words($text) {
    $bad_words = array(
        'bad' => "%#$!%$",
        'bad word' => "%#$!%$",
        'worse word' => "%#$!%$",
        'very bad word' => "%#$!%$",
        'much more badder word' => "%#$!%$",
        'anything' => "%#$!%$",
        'really' => "%#$!%$",
    );
        foreach ($bad_words as $bad_word => $fix)
        $text = str_replace($bad_word, $fix, $text);
    return $text;
}
add_filter('the_title', 'fix_bad_words');
add_filter('the_content', 'fix_bad_words');
add_filter('comment_text', 'fix_bad_words');
?>

Thanks to all! I think this may be the answer.

Can you list some examples of very bad words please? I'm not sure I understand what the concept is.

Riiiiiiiiiiight....
