@JohnPhilpin Hmm, yes, that could do with some punctuation, couldn’t it? But then it would be inconsistent with my other book note titles, so…

It’s not always easy, this blogging lark!

(First world problems, as people don’t seem to say anymore.)

@JohnPhilpin It occurs to me that the real problem is that Micro.blog doesn’t render HTML tags (or their Markdown equivalents) in titles. I used to wrap my titles in <cite> tags, which would make them italic, but that didn’t work when I moved to Micro.blog. That convention would at least make it clearer which is the title and which the author.
