Blog post titles are important
July 28th, 2008

Recently, a participant at one of my workshops, Gabriel, shared with me the usefulness of NetNewsWire as a feed reader. I downloaded and installed it and I have been using it for a few days now. Not bad indeed. It is a client side application for the Mac. It is a typical Mac app. When the feeds arrive they are viewed as a simple list according to the title of the blog post. An example is illustrated below. As you look at the list of blog post titles below see if you can interpret the content of each blog post.

This list illustrates the importance of a suitable title for your blog post. This is not always an easy task. The post title should be descriptive and reflective of the blog post’s content. I believe that a descriptive blog post can also assist with a Google search on that topic. Your blog post is more likely to be located and selected if the post title is representative of the post content.
