@svens I'll be interested to know if you do come up with another solution. 👍

@svens Definitely liking the look of the blog. You've done a great job 😊

@svens Completely agree. Trying to find a title can dictate the direction a post takes. Rather than things flowing naturally you try to make them fit and that's not good.

@colinwalker @svens do you ever find that you start a micro post that evolves into a long form post?

And a title almost magically suggests itself?

@desparoz @svens Micro posts turn into long(er) posts all the time but it's rare that I'll then give them a title. I write so little with titles now.

@svens The only problem is that micro.blog treats posts with a title as a long form post so, even if it was below 280 characters, you'd only get the first bit. The drive is also to get feed readers to better support items without titles - they're not required by the RSS spec.

@colinwalker @svens The nice thing about blogging is that anyone can choose their own format. However, having said that... :-) I do think long posts should have titles. It makes it easier to read in a timeline view.

@svens Yeah, I use a custom RSS template for my microblog category with no item title element.

@svens @colinwalker From a non-technical, dilettante blogger, using Colin's method to simply remove the title content seems to work for micro.blog. (1/2)

@svens @colinwalker That way you can have any sort of title on the blog and the whole post will show here. (2/2)
