Aloha Friday #23

Posted under aloha friday by Gray Cee

How do you write blog posts - title first and body later or the other way around?

Lately, I became aware that I am doing the other way around. I quickly scribble what is on my mind and get stumped on making the appropriate title.

Aloha Friday is a weekly posting all in the spirit of fun and relaxation. No heavy, brain-stormed posts, just ask a simple question for readers to answer in the comments. Visit the Aloha Friday HQ @ An Island Life.

    Usually title first unless I can’t think of one then I blog and when I reread I can up with a title that way

  2. Cathi Said,

    Hi Grace!
    Hmmm, I usually write the title and then the body of the post however occasionally I’ll go back and change the title.

  3. Jen @ JenuineJen Said,

    Usually, I write the body first and then go back to the title. My titles are not very original. When I sit down to write, I seem to need to get what I am thinking out as quickly as possible. Then I go back to refine it and research it further. During the refinement period, I usually do the title.

  4. Amy @ The Q Family Said,

    I normally write the title first then the body and sometimes I change the title.

  5. Spice Said,

    I usually do the title first and the title is usually the first part of my blog post if that makes sense? As in the title leads into the first paragraph.

  6. Dee Said,

    title first, but I’m wondering if I should do it the other way around?

  7. Jenn Said,

    It depends. If it’s something deep and meaningful I’ll write first, then do the title, but if it’s nothing special I usually pull a title out of thin air (or other places) and then write.

  8. Angie Said,

    Interesting question. I usually start with title but it could go either way for me. I enjoyed reading here how others do it.

  9. Kelley Said,

    Gosh…funny,now to think on it…. I do both. It kind of depends if it is a post I have been thinking about, like a review or something…or if it is just a thought…sometimes the ramblings turn into something that makes me think of a title.

    Have a great weekend

  10. Deborah Said,

    Title first!

  11. Jennifer in OR Said,

    I usually have my blog post written in my mind first, so I know what the title is, after having mentally written the post. I rarely start with a title.

  12. Jennifer in OR Said,

    Oh, and HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!! Be blessed and enjoy your motherhood. :-)

    The title usually comes last unless it’s a pretty obvious one.
