I just did this and took a different method. I simply added:
---
#+text: \input{./title.tex}
---
to the beginning of my document. Then I created a separate .tex file with
the title. If something is recurring, maybe it's worth the separate article
class file. If not, I think it *might* be simpler to just define a custom
title page and do as above. I think I just followed this:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Title_Creation#Custom_Title_Pages
Up to you! I can't guarantee this is right; I'm on a work computer and did
this on my home one.
