When I decided to move my blog to WordPress, I was a little too confident. The fact that over a thousand back entries were untitled? I couldn’t have been more undaunted.
But now I can say, “Here’s your daunt! Would you like daunt with that? If you call the number on the screen now, I’ll throw in extra daunt for free!”
A word of advice to anyone who has ever considered starting a blog:
Use titles.
A word of advice to anyone like me who has nursed a blog to toddler age before realizing he or she should use titles: Just kill yourself. It will be more fun than trying to come up with a pithy, attention-grabbing phrase that sums up that 500-word entry about how you’ve always thought your cat resembled Robert Redford.
The good news is that I only have around 300 titles left to go. The bad news is that I’m about to start calling everything from October 2005 to April 2006 “Untitled.” Because that’s a title, even if it’s usually reserved for more serious esoterica, like blog posts interpreting dreams you’ve had about your cat and the entire cast of He’s Just Not That Into You.
Any comments or suggestions on the blog’s new look? Compliments are welcome. And if you tell me to give it up, I may have to agree and pass the daunt.
