Small tutorial to learn how to write a TITLE

 

First of all, what is a title ?
Title is a word from Old French and from the Latin word “titulus” which means “inscription, chapter heading” etc…

 

What is the aim of a title ?
It’s useful to know, at a fast glance, the content of a text, a book, an article …
Yes, it’s useful !
Imagine a library with NO title on the edge of books. How would you make ?

 

What do we write on a title ?
When you post a new topic, you are going to decide of a title… Don’t be afraid, be courageous ! Think as you were the reader you want to understand quickly the subject of the post. Try to choose a small sentence which summarizes the interest of your post… its reason of being, its essence, its transcendence !
In addition, notice that you have on your keyboard these signs [ ] at one’s disposal. So you can use them cunningly to create a rubric in order to class your topic in a specific category. Like this, you guide your reader from the beginning.

 

Example : [biology] Survival of Bavarian toads in Patagonia
[Role-playing game] Relevance of monks in the medieval universe

 

There, I think that you needn’t read the text to understand what the subject is…

 

Now, for example “AAAArrrrrrrgggggggggggh !! Heeeeeeeelppp me please !!!!!!!!!!”

 

:>:First hypothesis : it’s the beginning of the biologic text about the toads in Patagonia ?

 

:>:Second hypothesis : This person confound CrystalXP with an association about suicide

 

You understand now why it’s better to choose a adequate title ! Don’t you ?

 

Example of good titles :
- [Request] Looking for source psd …
- Problem with visual style Crystal Clear

 


Example of bad titles :
- Help !!!!!!!!!
- I have a problem !

 

Thanks for your attention wink.gif
