Hey Rex, I’ve heard of people using sites like Digg and Reddit to test headlines ideas, as well as to generate new headline ideas, but never thought to use Twitter.
Thanks for the tip!

One of the things I saw recently was to test headlines via Twitter. I believe Huffington Post did that and it seemed to work out well.

I can’t agree MORE with the tip “Tell the visitor what to do next.” I see this as one of the biggest downfalls of many web designs. It’s so crucial.

I like the last point you made about the importance of testing. Each niche is different and each post should be unique. I know that certain headlines do well on Digg but other on StumbleUpon. It’s important that the article truly delivers what the headline suggests. Otherwise you’ll have a high bounce rate.

Best wishes for your success and I’m glad you joined Blog Engage.

It’s absolutely important that you focus on the headline for personal blogs.

Though you are right, connecting with the reader, when they’ve come to read about you, is a bit odd.

I’m planning to do my own write up on the topic, but until I get around to it, check out this post about drawing in readers. Which is something you can apply directly to the cooking section of your site.

This is also a nifty plugin that I’ve been meaning to install on some other blogs for similar effect: http://omninoggin.com/projects/wordpress-plugins/wp-greet-box-wordpress-plugin/

There’s many great resources for headline writing out there that I should wrap up into a post one of these days.

Is it important to focus on the headline for a personal type of blog? I can’t imagine how to connect with the reader?

I’m so bad with headlines. To be honest I’m actually a pretty bad blogger. I was weak in spelling, English and grammar when I was in high school. When I first started thinking about blogging I was worried what the out come would be.

To my surprise it’s actually not as bad as I initially thought it would be. But I’m still missing the head lines. The attention grabbers. I’m glad you joined our community because this article alone is going to help me tremendously.
