 In the original 2.7 design mockups, the title field didn't get a
 postbox/header for the sake of clean design, but used a gray text prompt
 (Enter Title) to make it clear what the box was for. After helping some
 super newbies last week at WC Ireland, I realized that we never did that,
 and that new users get confused about what to do when they land on the New
 Post (or Page) screen. Let's add in the gray prompt text.

 Title field: "Enter title"
 Body text box: "Write your post [page] here."
