Some of my best blog posts are buried behind really boring, unhelpful post titles. If a post resonates with folks and is shared, it can only be because someone actually read it. The opposite of clickbait.
@manton I agree! I think Paul Graham’s essays are an example of KISS with titles. paulgraham.com/articles....
@manton I use titles to set the tone and help guide potential reader what it is all about without falling too much in the clickbait thing...
@numericcitizen Makes sense! I usually do too, but every once in a while my blog post titles are so uninspired that it’s almost funny, like today’s post, which is where my comment came from.
