Don't you wish all your blog posts could have that title, and the corresponding effect of everyone who sees it follows through? As I was digging through my Google Reader this morning, I realized how much I rely on the title (and first sentence or part of the first sentence) to help me decide whether or not to read more of the post. I have boatloads of unread posts in my reader and just can't get fully read each one. Granted, I have probably already read a number of them because I clicked through to it when a trusted source tweeted about the post. However, I know I am missing good content because the title and first sentence don't grab me or tell me what the post is really about.
Therefore, I am making a resolution to do better with my title and first few words to make it better for my readers.
In addition, if you have any tips on Blog Post Title creation, please share. I am all ears!
PS - this is also a test to see if my page view numbers increase at all with this title. We shall see.
