Having the ability to hide the node title would seem like a feature that would be included in Drupal by default, unfortunately this is not the case. There have been a variety of suggestions on how to accomplish this task from creating a custom view to hacking the code on page.tpl.php itself.
By far the best way I have found so far is the exclude_node_title module.
http://drupal.org/project/exclude_node_title
The exclude_node_title module provides a checkbox on node-edit pages for easier exclusion, or you can use the admin page to manually enter a list of node id’s to exclude title. This module is available with Drupal version 6 and 7.
