Good suggestions. I’ve tried to swing into more illectually challenging thrusts with my headlines (”You don’t have to be a victim.”), but am still too general.

My blog is political, so my titles are often dark. Good suggestions, thanks. Hmmm…I have lots of New Year’s resolutions about my blog, and I’m going to add “Review my titles” to the list.

Recent examples of all these options on my blog 'Serge the Concierge' are 'Hey! Get Cooking, Offer Seth Godin great Meatball Recipes? (not 'a dog dinner)', plus 'Fancy a Three Some, Here's one from Napa' or 'Anarchy in the US, Punk House' and 'Disaster Proof Tips to Doing Business in Dubai, Shanghai and Mumbai' to name a few.

I totally agree it is all about the title, at least as far as blog I am not a 'reader' of. Give me an interesting title and ten to one I will check out the blog. Even if I know nothing about it, where as something general or boring gets passed over. Characters in the post always make me think of spam and I will pass that over if I am not familiar with the blog. Hey, at first I thought you were over here talking about us ;).
