It takes a bit of effort, of not settling for the defaults, but it's perfectly possible to break free from that tyranny. Most feed re... colinwalker.blog

@bix

Agreed.

@colinwalker FWIW, Rhoneisms is Wordpress based and the vast majority of posts don’t have Headlines. One can eliminate them with a bit of CSS editing of post types or there’s a few plug-ins that will do it too. Not that hard.

@patrickrhone

Exactly – not settling for the defaults and looking for solutions rather than complaining about it.

@colinwalker it's a really curious post. People have been blogging without a title for quite some time now. And I am sure these are people even Om would be aware of. I guess he is looking mainly looking from WordPress editor perspective?

@amit

Dave Winer was blogging without titles right back at the beginning. Admittedly he wrote his own software but it’s not exactly new.

@colinwalker Yeah, same here. A very strange post. I had no trouble writing without titles when I was on WordPress. Those posts caused some minor problems when I moved over to building a static site and imported them into Nikola, but they were easily fixed.
