I tend to just use periods outside quotes anyway, since it's generally
clearer. But I work at a place that prints formal things such as
wedding invitations, so I have to use the more formal rules there on
things like our web site.

It'd probably be just as easy to use double-curly-braces to delimit
your title if you want to include a period in it.

See <http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/writing-style.html> for more
about how 'hackers' write. :)
