However, I thik that people who'd never read any of your posts, would nver be able to surmise any of that from your titles. <br />Personally, I think that you could make your titles more relevant to your readers without being duplicitous / comprehmising yr integrity. Eg. I think that you could have renamed 'The trouble with texting' as 'Why I confiscated my tween's phone' and it would have been more relavant and probably more 'clicky'.

That, and I had a baby on November 15th. But now, knowing that you have been writing all along, I am going to go on a Kacy Faulconer/Babble binge.

When I wrote my post about my favorite Trader Joe's foods I originally called it "I Smell it in the Air!" which is a line Galadriel says in The Lord of the Rings when she is speaking of the impending arrival or the powers of evil. Then right after I published it I changed the name to "My Top Trader Joe's Picks!" because that seemed so much more clickable (and actually told people what the post was about) even though I really liked the oddness of the first title.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286940423496605473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-33013899681025643112012-12-22T14:38:38.005-07:002012-12-22T14:38:38.005-07:00I am glad you found the comment encouraging, just ...I am glad you found the comment encouraging, just as it was meant to be.

No babies or toddlers here and heaven knows I need all the help I can get. Keep posting links to your Babble posts because that's the only way I know that you've written something for Babble. :)Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230411212001937251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597252.post-47020949872863426452012-12-22T00:15:12.960-07:002012-12-22T00:15:12.960-07:00I have tiny kids, but I still click through to all...I have tiny kids, but I still click through to all your Babble links. I'm a fan. I agree that lots of parenting info on the Internet is geared toward the baby/toddler stages, but parenting is parenting, ya know? I feel like it all interests me. Plus, I'm going to be at that next stage before long. It's a mystery.

I read you on babble and that's about it. I just don't like the other blogs much. I like the babble stuff that comes across my facebook feed, but I love your blog and have for a few years now. I'm not a big commenter, but I always read! I should comment more. I never get comments on my own blog, which is lucky to get 50 views per post. I like to do it, but I'm just not a good blogger. You, on the other hand, are. Don't worry about your numbers over there. You are great.theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689721734984312885noreply@blogger.com
