Okay so as you might imagine this is a bit of a rant about titles on blogs. Each day I scan through Google Reader seeing if any blog posts grabs my attention and having a list of titles before me I start noticing patterns. And they’re not good patterns. This is a concentrated list of what I often see:

Do you really need to add these awful qualifiers to your titles to get people’s attention? Does it have any noticeable benefit? It just seems tacky to me. Of course that makes me a hypocrite as I have used them in my own titles before, for the first series of inspiration posts but you may have noticed I didn’t in the second series.

I implore you to consider why you’re putting them there, surely your posts don’t need it, surely the photos/​designs/​websites you’re featuring are amazing otherwise why are you making a post about it? You don’t need to yell it at me. Perhaps one is enough, it’s not great but it’s better than ’61 Even More Awesome Photo Manips To State At Wonder — Part II’, I don’t know if it’s just me but I’d be perfectly happy with ’61 Photo Manipulations — Part II’ but I guess that’s just not enough for some people. I guess I would be happy if people just stopped using ‘fresh’ in their title…
