 Effective Blog Title Ideas for a Catholic Blog: Finding Ideas
from the Catholic Blog Network of this Site (7 of 7)
Introduction
With modesty, I present the blog titles I composed since 2002 up to the
present (with a number of these blogs already closed down), as sources of
ideas to compose your Catholic blog. When I composed the majority of these
Catholic blog titles, I did not as yet know about the importance of blog
titles in search engine optimization (SEO). I will thus review these blog
titles, and analyze how it can give you a title pattern from which to mold
and compose your own Catholic blog title.
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 of my blogs, one actively
posted upon, while the other not as currently posted to, 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, I have 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. I composed this title after hearing the
gospel read in a Eucharistic celebration. So, 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 the 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, I composed 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 was one way I composed a blog title - using two
spiritual classics as ideas to come up with something a bit unique.
A call to brainstorm and to be creative
My other blogs don't follow any of the other patterns I have suggested
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 the 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 missionary call of
John Paul II to proclaim the Gospel on the Net (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 our traditional and classic 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. We will realize how much wealth of ideas
we can obtain just by simply making a search at Google or Bing.
Conclusion
From the seven articles of this Effective Blog Title Ideas Series,
we can find many sources of inspiration and ideas from which to pattern
and model our own Catholic blog title. However, we 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 our title, is that we never forget to
take into account the SEO factor in the Catholic blog title. This
will spell a whole lot of difference and value when we decide to
have our Catholic blog indexed by the search engines.
