Off topic: middlezonemusings.com seems to be down right now, in case you were unaware.

Sometimes I have one in mind, but other times I can’t come up with anything that makes sense. Readers can tell, I’m sure.

Most of the time, though, the headline is mainly to please me – something silly, crazy, or made to grab attention. Probably breaking every rule in the book, but what the hey.

Glad to have you pinging my feed again. And thanks for your original post that gave me a great start on this one. I don’t think I would have found it again, though, if it hadn’t been for your good site search.

Sometimes mine is more towards entertaining the readers I already have. And sometimes it’s just to entertain my own vanity.

The link engtech provided seems to agree with you, Stu. And I have to confess, I actually thought of the title for this post before I wrote it. Usually it’s the other way around for me, though.

LOL, Edward. I’ll have to try your approach some time and see how it works.

And thanks for the linkage too (I’m resubscribed here too, BTW, RSS subscriber++;) :)

We have a word or phrase in our minds to use as a title and then expand on it to generate the blog entry. My title
today? Batman. Then I took it from
there.
