Back in the day there wasn't an easy way to give your posts a title. Now today it is very easy to do. Most of the blogging software comes with a field for the title. Some of them are optional and that brings us to this post. Should you title your posts?

For the most part the answer is yes. Actually every time should be a yes. Sure it might be hard to come up with a title, but it helps with everything from search engines to giving your readers an idea of what you are going to talk about to creating dynamic urls, it is always a good idea.

The main reason I like titles is it helps your readers to know what you are talking about. Say you have a running thought process that is scattered between posts. If you title the first one "Thoughts on a red balloon" and then the second one "More thoughts on a red balloon" and then the third "Thoughts on a red balloon part 3" your readers will know to read them in order. And since most people post their posts in a reverse chronological order, it will help them to find the other posts.
