What’s in a title?
I don’t know about you guys, but I have the hardest time titling my pages (and even my kits now!). I can sit four hours fiddling with different titles, fonts and alphas or anything to put on my page. There have even been a few times that I just gave up and didn’t title a page (bad Daysh!). I even get lazy now and just call my sister up and make her come up with titles for me. So today (a little late….) I just wanted to talk to you a little bit about titling your pages and ideas for coming up with title ideas.
My first suggestion is to look at the theme of your page. Are there any individual words that come to mind? Any adjectives that seem to be perfect. There is this site that has a HUGE list of adjectives that are perfect for titles: http://www.esldesk.com/vocabulary/adjectives.htm They are even alphabetized to help you search through them if you are looking for a particular word that starts with an ‘a’ for example.
For example there is this page. We were at the wild animal park and the word “wild” just seemed very fitting.
or this one:
My next suggestion to you would be to do as Lina suggested in her last Words for Wednesday Challenge- find a song title or lyrics to a song that would work. Music is so powerful and so are the words (usually… 
These lyrics ended up being so perfect for this page, and I was so excited how well they fit and how little efford I had to put into finding a title.
My last suggestion is to find a quote. This site www.thinkexist.com is the perfect place to find TONZ of quotes- any theme you could be looking for. You just type in a search word and it brings up loads of different quotes from different people! It’s so wonderful.
or this one:
Hopefully this has helped a little bit and will help you as you all try to title your pages.

Thx for your ideas. Another idea–use a slogan from an ad.
