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?

The new blogs keep streaming in!  Here are a few of the best new blogs from the past few months.  I love reading the names of blogs – here we have everything from the very unassuming "The Chapple Family" to ALL CAPS IN "JUNGLE NEWS" (excuse me for shouting) and the attention-getting "Welcome to Africa Ya’ll", and even a missionary who owns her own country (Romania)!

But it looks like South Africa is dominating our new blogs this time…

While You Weren’t Looking (His Church Grew Again)

7 May 2009

A whole variety of posts here, but a focus on the remarkable, sometimes quiet, sometimes explosive, things that God is doing in busy streets and out-of-the-way corners around the world.  In unexpected ways, He keeps building His Church…

It all started when this woman [...]
