Writing Challenge: Catchy Blog Titles

Writing Challenge: Catchy Blog Titles

A) Three Good MyEC Blog Titles

1) My Perth Diary : Day Four 1st Jan 2014 by noaslpls

  For me, it's a good blog title because it goes straight to the point, then, it's clear, descriptive and cathchy for who's a travel enthusiast. Capitalization highlights all the important words. Noaslpls were able to do direct titles for a series of posts telling us about the Australian city of Perth.  Congratulations noaslpls for such a great travel along the posts.

2) Astronauts Under the Water by Robbie

 It's a blog that makes me feel like I was living the same experiences that Robbie lived. Besides fulfilling the spelling, punctuation and capitalization requirements, he also kept his blog title short and descriptive. To my mind, it's a catchy one too, because he knew how to play with the comparison between "astronauts" and "divers" in the title, in this sense, he's a creative fellow, that deserves my congratulations for such summer travel  memories.

3) The Internet: A Curse in Disguise? by WMV

  The text is a great article that bring us much informaion about the use of Internet nowadays, being its drawbacks the focus. I enjoyed the title because WMV made it in a question shaped. So, in this kind of title the question make us want to read the whole text  in order we come to our conclusions about the previous indagation. Incredible! I adore answering title's questions. Spelling, punctuation and capitalization are OK, and, the briefness and description of the blog topic are OK as well.

B) My 3 Future Blog Titles (titles subjected to changes)

  My  Partner of Pronunciation: Podcasts

 Overall view on the English Accents Features (currently working on it)

  *How Does it Work in Britain? (done)

C)  Blog Titles Mine that Could be Better

  Original Title: The most travelled man in the world: Charles Veley

  I thought this one very long, so, I decide to reduce it, so that the reader don't find all the theme at one go.  Some words it could be capitalized to hightlight concepts that I wished to convey. In sum, I want to pass the maximum of ideas in just a few words in the improved form of this title.

  Improved Title: A Noticeable Globetrotter

  Original Title: Technology in the service of environment: Boyan Slat's "Ray - Robot"

  Again I face my problem of always not shorten what I want to say. Definitely, I consider this a problem. Why not summarize what I write to become more interesting? That's it I tried to do here too. Shortening the title for drawing more attention of my readers. After all, readers don't bear with so complex and long phrases in the blog's opening.

  Improved Title: Boyan Technology saving Nature

  • Thank you very much for including my blog post on your writing challenge entry, Daniel! I'm delighted to see your posts and how you managed to participate on this activity. Keep it up! : )

  • Hi Daniel, 

    Fantastic work! I think this is one of your best posts yet, and you've written a lot of posts! You have convinced me to check out some posts that I missed!

    Correction: After the word "besides" you need a noun or gerund rather than a verb. Can you try to fix this? 

    "Besides he has fulfilled the spelling, punctuation and capitalization requirements, he also kept his blog title short and descriptive. "

  • OMG, not noa and wm again :(

  • From my own experience, trying to come up with any title of my blogs is the hardest part. Usually even after finishing my blog, I still cannot come up with a title. I have to re-read the blog a few times to get the idea for the title. 

    You're right, to shorten the title is also one of the hardest parts. But I think with practice and better vocabulary, it will be easier.
