Do I have to make attention grabbing titles?


From reading about writing for the web

It seems that reading of the web pages is so different from that of an ordinary book that different ways of writing for the web need to be considered. The first one is that Your heads and subheads should be short, to the point, and attention grabbers.

So I'll give it a go and see how I feel about it.

I finished looking at Janni Black's excellent Blogger videos and have added a visitor map. There is a pages gadget on there, but I am still trying to work out what to do with it.

What I plan to do next?

Will continue working on new ideas to try with Blogger. Came across 31 days to better blogging which I will have a look at. Sue Waters tried this at the start of 2008 and has some good comments on what she gained from it.

Would anyone reading this be interested in setting this up as a group to try together? Please let me know in your comments if you might be interested.

Otherwise, I will still be trying some of the tasks with wikieducator and the PBwiki 7 day challenge.

Finally, I just came across a five day start to social networking on one of Sue Waters sites. But too tired to find it right now.

That's all for tonight folks. I am realising that reading the blogs of others can be hard yakker.

I did the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog back in August 2007 and we formed at team of 14 people. You can check it out here.

I attribute the 31 Day Project to the reason why I now write The Edublogger.

If you are looking for someone I know that Lisa over on Tidertechie is also just starting it. I would suggest you visit her blog to let her know. I'm seriously considering re-do it myself.

I would love to work through the challenge together. I am going through the 30 Days to Be a Better Blogger (Steve Dembo) which is based off of Sue's. Plus I am going through Sue's! What day are you on?

This will be good to do Lisa. I look forward to doing the Challenge.
