 Catholic Blog Title Ideas from Other Catholic Blogs: Effective
Blog Title Ideas Series (7 of 7)
Introduction
Starting a blog was not easy at first. Eventually I was able to produce Catholic
blog titles and blog posts - some of which are based on classic spiritual writings.
This blogs were composed in 2002, with a number of them already closed down.
When I composed the majority of these Catholic blog titles, I did not yet know
the importance of blog titles in Search Engine Optimization (SEO). This article
will review these blog titles, and analyze how you can also employ the title
patterns from which to mold and compose your own Catholic blog title and blog
posts.
A title pattern from Catholic prayers
In the first articles of this Series, I shared how Catholic prayers can be
sources of inspiration for a blog title. Two blogs, one actively
posted upon, while the other rarely, were taken from
phrases in the prayers to the Holy Spirit:
Enkindle in Them the Fire of
Your Love and Send Forth Your Spirit. So, aside from the litanies and
the prayers attributed to saints as sources of inspiration, you can also
derive a lot of very good ideas from the prayers to the Holy Spirit: both
traditional and modern prayers.
A title pattern from Scriptures
I shared in article #5 how Scripture can be a source of inspiration to title
a Catholic blog. In light of this idea, a blog entitled
New Wine is Put into Fresh
Wineskines. This title is taken from Luke 5:38, Mark 2:22, and Matthew 9:17.
This title obtained its inspiration from the gospel read in a Eucharistic
celebration. It is not only while reading the Bible that a passage of Scripture
can illumine our mind and inspire us. Listening to the gospel and the homily of
a priest in the Mass can also give us inspiration to title a Catholic blog.
A title pattern from Catholic books
I shared in article #2 of Catholic books and spiritual classics as
sources of inspiration to title a Catholic blog. In light of this
idea, a blog title called The Seven
Fires of the Soul. This blog title is really a combination of Thomas Merton's
"The Seven Storey Mountain" and St. Therese of Lisieux's "The Story of
a Soul". This is one way of composing a blog title - using two
spiritual classics as ideas to come up with something unique.
A call to brainstorm and to be creative
My other blogs don't follow any of the other patterns I have provided
in the previous six articles. With these blogs, I followed the strategy
of "thinking outside the box". Two examples of these blog titles are
Theology of Business and From Galilee to the Internet. The first one
does not really write about any new theology; it's just a title to pilot
the theme of a blog which seeks to integrate the Christian spirit and
values in a small family business. As regards the second blog title,
it is simply a way of formulating a response to the call of John Paul II's
36th World Communications Day Message, in a blog title.
Catholic blogs that are closed down
Some of my other blog titles (which are now closed) can also give you
ideas to pattern your own Catholic blog title. Most of these titles
can be categorized as examples in the previous six articles of this
Effective Blog Title Ideas Series. A few of the titles are like the
ones that were composed by "thinking outside the box". These former
Catholic blog titles are as follows:
- 1 The Nexus
- 2 Books, Blogs, and BTWs
- 3 Welling Up to Eternal Life
- 4 Christ-Wisdom and the 'Magis"
- 5 Catholic Windows on the World
- 6 The Easter Blog
- 7 Catholic Supplement and Support
- 8 Authors, Apropos, and AKAs
The 2nd and 8th blog titles were based on Evelyn Woodward's book, "Poets,
Prophets, and Pragmatists". The 3rd title is a phrase from the gospel
of John, specifically in the passage narrating the encounter of Jesus
with the Samaritan woman at the well. The 1st title is taken from
St. Bonaventure's term for the Holy Spirit in one of his spiritual writings.
The 5th and the 7th blog titles were based on John Paul II's document on
the Internet. And the 4th title is not a blog on the infant Christ and
the three wise men. Rather, it is a combination of two important elements
in Catholic spirituality (Christ-Wisdom from St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort,
and the 'Magis' from Ignatian spirituality).
Ideas from other Catholic blogs online
Aside from the blog titles suggested above, you can also make a search
at Google for the key phrase "catholic blogs". The search results can
give you ideas from other Catholic blog titles. You can then discover
even more title patterns that were not included in this series on
Effective Blog Title Ideas. You will realize that there are so many ideas
you can obtain just by simply making a search at Google, Bing, or Yahoo!.
Conclusion
From the seven articles of this Effective Blog Title Ideas Series,
you can find many sources of inspiration and ideas from which to pattern
and model your own Catholic blog title. You can also follow a
more innovative and creative direction by "thinking outside the box",
and creating a combination of ideas from several sources. What is
important in composing a title, is that you never forget to
take into account the importance of popular Catholic key words
and phrases so that when your Catholic blog is indexed by the
search engines, it will rank higher in their search results pages.
