Django templates don't use brackets in dictionary lookups, so
post.regular-title would be the correct syntax.
How are you getting the data from Tumblr into the template? If the API
is returning JSON, at some point (before you parse it) it's just a
string, so you could do x.replace('regular-title', 'regular_title') to
convert the keys into valid Python variables, if that is indeed the
cause of your problem.
It would probably help if you posted your view code.
