What a fun read! Great to see the new bloggers as well as old friends here! And I'd been far too busy the past few weeks - so it was cool to sit with feet up and read such wisdom!

I am thoroughly enjoying the process of researching the issues and attempting to organize and express my thoughts and opinions in a logical manner. The subject is one I am passionate about and seems to offer a wide variety interesting topics to comment upon. As my blog is new, my readership is low and I have only had comments from one other reader apart from yourself (thanks heaps for well thought-out and constructive comment). However, its early days yet and for now I am thoroughly enjoying the writing as well as participating in discussions on other blogs. Cheers Andrew To answer your question, Brad, my blog is going great – thanks for asking.

In a sense it may be "six of one, half-dozen of the other," since I <i>did</i> also find the post when I searched using the full title. But, though Google <i>foundd</i> the post under the full title, it was still <i>listed</i> under the shortened title, with the full title on line two. That might matter to one writer, whereas it might not bother another at all. Haven't really thought deeply enough on the issue, though, to determine what advantages/disadvantages each method might offer. Karen, how sweet of you to compliment my headline-writing description! So glad I've succeeded in presenting the process in a way that's helpful to you! Jeanne Brad,

"Hey Brad Shorr, your medical information is now online!" I put this as the title to my weekly newsletter and my most recent blog entry: http://www.privacybuilders.com/privacy-community/2008/6/13/hey-brad-shorr-your-medical-information-is-now-online.html I agree that titles are very important. But titles that have your own name in them really catch the eye. I wonder if the following will get Brad’s attention?

Karen, Funny you say that, because I think your headlines are usually pretty darn good. But I'm glad you were able to get some pointers here at Word Sell. Hi Darlene, Gina must be quite a writer!

Wow, I'm honored to be included in this line-up. I also laughed because this is the one area of writing at which I totally struggle. I have publicly admitted to stinking at headlines, but maybe there's hope for me after all. I loved Jeanne's description of writing headlines. Great advice that I can use. This was a really good discussion with some great points and a timely lesson for me. Thanks Brad! Hi Brad! Wow, I’m honored to be included in this line-up.
