You read it right. This post title is “No Title”. It’s just that. Today post, is just about that. About the title your put and you attached to your post.
Title play a very significant point on any post. In books or movie, with the changes of title, the perception of the potential viewer or reader will be change. Try my last post, “Let Get Nude“. It’s one of the popular post on my blog. Maybe I should not put the baby picture as the blog picture. It some way say, it’s a joke so light-up, kind of thing.
So today, the blog post is no title and the picture also a question mark.
A title play a significant roles in your blog post, as I were saying. There are many ways you can craft a very good title, some of them you can read over here, which claim even a corpse would read your blog post. But what I intended to do today to introduce a very simple way to craft a title (also applicable to subtitle). Which you don’t need to read in very long passage.
I am suggesting three step approach, you could use it as one on one, two on one or three on one. Much like the hair shampoo that come with three in one reaction. But this one only better.
Choose one topic from digg. Just write and let you mind flow. While writing, the direction of your post will eventually be clear. By the time your reach your final word you will be crafting a blog or article that almost complete but with not title.
Now, the final touch will be your title. I suggest your read through your post first before you put your title on you next blog post.
Similar to first one, but using this technique, you write your post and while writing halfway stop. Cook or bake the post for at least a few minutes. Come back, read it and come up with a title. Continue writing the the second half of your blog post or articles. That not the final title.
The final touch, read through again you post. Then put the final title for your master piece.
This is very time consuming and should be done only if you think you want to write for intended purpose, say for social networking, or blog carnival.
In this style, you write your blog post in a free flow style but you going to limit this blog post either in term of word or time or both. Say for example, you going to write one blog post based on a topic your found on digg, for just 500 word tops or in 30 minutes tops or both which ever come first.
When you finish, cook and bake it for a few minutes. Start editing or correcting your post. Half way through, put a title. Then continue with the process untill finish. Review back your title and change it necessary.
During the idea drought session but not limited to that. I am using this techniques more regularly now, it a mix of brainstorm and getting the job done at the same time. While the initial outcome from this post maybe a bit crude, but the final touch-up can be done afterward.
I use it. You can use it. Somebbody already use it. Although you may have your own style, which of course, we like to hear from you.
This post still lack of your contribution, perhaps you find it useful or you can promote it in your own way and give a Thumb-up or some Digg.

Another great tips but simple one (it only three!)
I always agree with great title. My other approach is to always dare change your title after you read through your post several times. I found that we could found a more interesting title for the post by reading it several times.
