On Using Titles, Tags, and Categories

wall of tags
There seems to be some confusion uin #edu522 about when to add a title and when to leave a post with a title. This is the #IndieWeb the choice is utimatley yours. If a one word post deserves a title..give it one;…a 3,000 word treatsie doesn’t need it…then skip it.

Best Practice

Yet here is a quick guideline on practices:

  • Article: Always give it a title. Featured image optional.
  • Notes: No title
  • Photos:If you Instagram, no title. You Flickr, title.
  • Quotes: No title, though some like making the source url a title

Our Class

  • Make your write, participation, and backsatge posts articles
  • Remember to use the category “backstage”
  • #Dailyponderances are up to you whether it is a note or article. Just remember #dailyponderance tag
  • Try to use categories for posts in each module, so moudle1, module2, etc. It makes searching and building feeds so much fun. You can go back and update previous posts.

  1. I find that RSS feeds from various indieweb sites often have entries for “notes” that have no title in the RSS, this seems to break the RSS reader.
