Great titles

In the past I’ve posted about posts based on cool pictures – ones that caught my attention.

This time I ignored content altogether – at least to start with – and just looked for titles that caught my attention.

You know, other than "Our May Newsletter".  Or "Even more photos of our trip".  Or my favourite, "(no title)" (that’s what shows up in my rss feed reader when you don’t bother to put a title).

No, these titles caught my attention – and it turns out that people who write good titles tend to write good posts too!

For example, who could resist a missionary blog post about Tap Dancing (Kenya)?  Or how about the tantalizing Catching Creatures on Camera! (Columbia).

New Bible Study and Peter Pan! (Indonesia) brings us even more creatures among other things.  Mixing together topics that don’t usually go together makes an interesting title – though it’s not great blogging practice!

Everyone loves to share an opinion, right?  So that’s why I clicked on Input Requested (Indonesia).

And of course there’s always the finish-the-sentence posts, like A Garbage Can Full (of what?!) (Rwanda), and Take this hot chocolate and (and what?!) from France.

How about a shocker like Before Wii (Venezuela).  There was something before Wii??

All right, I’d better get this post done – here are a few more that caught my eye…

Which is your favourite title?

Children playing in Nepal

The incredible posts never stop . . . I wish I had time to highlight them all!  First, here are some comments regarding current news events that you might be interested in – the strike in Nepal, for example.  And from Taiwan, some comments about "Chinglish" and China’s World Expo.

On the culture, a common issue in Latin America as seen by one blogger in Columbia.

And finally, on the topic of change.  Missionaries experience constant change, in their lives and in the lives of others.  Sometimes good, sometimes challenging.

First, moving from one country to another and discovering Stowaways!

Next, a time of change as these missionaries also move, for different reasons.  This is one of those especially challenging changes.  Don’t miss Committed to the Cause(s).

Lastly, in Swaziland Jesus Transforms an Abusive Teenager!

It’s time to congratulate those who have completed 5 years of blogging!  5 years is still a good old age for a blog – in fact, these blogs are still older than this site (which started in 2005).
I’ve done this in the past, but I’m not sure if I’ll do it again [...]

But today we’re going to use that tag cloud to focus on [...]
