Your post title is probably the most important part of your post. It's what helps a reader decide whether or not it's worth reading. I struggle terribly with this! In fact, I think coming up with the perfect title is the hardest part!



There are always the classics, the ones you have seen a million times on multiple blogs and in different magazines as well. For example; "Lady In Red", "the Little Black Dress", "Pink Is the New Black". I think we all use the classics from time to time, but it's also good to come up with your own catchy titles and that is not an easy task!


I think the majority of the titles I've seen in blog posts and magazine articles have been used many times. You don't always have to re-invent the wheel. 


I always love the titles that are used in magazines, especially fashion editorials. They often use song titles, idioms, and I always love when they put their own clever little twist to them.

I am going to give it a few more weeks and see how it goes and then I will let you know all about it and maybe it will help you with your title troubles!

In the meantime, here is some Q & A for fellow bloggers and writers...

Q & A


How do you come up with your titles?


What do you do when you get stuck and can't think of a good title to use?


Do you come up with title first or do you wait until you have finished the post or article?
