Hi Robb,
The attention grabbing headlines is what I have the most problem with. I used to write really well in high school sooo many years ago but now I can’t seem to get the words I want out so they are enticing to the reader. I’m working on it though!

Great! That was the point!

Headlines can be everything…no one is going to read what you have to say if you don’t get their attention.

Robb,
I agree. The attention span of an internet surfer is extremely limited so having an “attention-grabbing” title it so key. This is one of the true gifts of a successful blog developer. If the title does not grab you the content will never be seen.
You certainly grabbed my attention in this post!

Best,
Bob
