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…
- Become Nothing (Niger)
- I miss being sick… (Japan)
- Battling bats, and Romantic Roaches (Uganda)
- "Gossip" …or perhaps ~ (Niger)
- The "God-Father" (Peru)
- 3 lines, 5 guys, 17 syllables, and a billion diapers (Tanzania)
- In Which I Prove We Will Acheive [sic] FTL Speeds by 2050 (Thailand)
- The Biggest Holiday of the Year (Peru)
- Note to self: remember to appreciate these things (for more than a day!) when I get back to the UK… (Thailand)
Which is your favourite title?
