Yeah, I wanted a getArticleByTitle the other day and noticed it
was using the slug instead. It is probably because they were added at
different times. Let's come up with a standard, and rename all of the
functions across the board.
It doesn't seem like we can nicely deprecate
getBlogArticleByTitle, since that is a pretty good name, so I think people
will have to know that it now means title and not slug, and change their
custom code accordingly. Unless we really want to make sure to not break
stuff, and come up with a new function name for getbytitle.

Maybe we're too stupid. Maybe there's an algorithm out there and
we're just not getting it. It's a possibility.
