Don't Judge a Blog by its Title

It seems that the posts that receive the most hits in A Line from Linda are not necessarily the ones I spend the most time researching or the ones that I expect to attract the most attention:  they are the ones that have the catchiest titles.  Sometimes I choose a basic title for my blog; however, there is no mystery and therefore readers just pass it by.  However, sometimes I come up with a title that piques the readers' interest, just to draw them in.  Here is a list of my top three blogs to prove my point.

Daily
1.  One, Two, Three Cheers Tommy!
2.  Venus Fly Trap Eats Cat!
3.  Kennedy's Limousine and Lincoln's Chair

Weekly
1.  One, Two, Three Cheers Tommy!
2.  Venus Fly Trap Eats Cat!
3.  Six Dots, An Awl & A Piece of Paper

Monthly
1.  Mario Meets Luigi
2.  One, Two, Three Cheers Tommy!
3.  Venus Fly Trap Eats Cat!

All Time
1.  Thanksgiving Around a Ping Pong Table
2.  Mario Meets Luigi
3.  One, Two, Three Cheers Tommy! 

The other factor that might have come into play here is that the blogs that have received the most hits are often personal blogs.  Many of the titles above are about my son, Thomas.  Whatever the case, I appreciate everyone's interest.  Thank you for being devoted followers!
