Saner log entry headlines please?

Saturday, July 16th, 2005

I have a small request to the world. Can we please have some saner blog entry headlines please? These:

"HTML_AJAX"
"Come on, that's all? - Tobias Schlitt"

headlines tell me absolutely nothing! The first one’s obviously about something called HTML_AJAX, but what’s it about exactely? Just generally about HTML_AJAX? Then make the headline “About HTML_AJAX”. The second one is completely non-descriptive. Anybody could have said it at any time anywhere in the universe and it could still apply to anything at all.

Headlines are all about scanability. I want to be able to quickly scan my RSS headlines and instantly decide what I do and don’t want to read. These do not qualify in the least.
