discussions that get more attention

Yes I do! I make sure that I catch somebody's attention just from the title itself to make it interesting and draw people to read and respond to my discussion.

A few times, I've seen a fascinating title, and the post had nothing to do with it. It certainly did its job -- it attracted reader interest!

I think a catchy title is also very important, especially if it's a humerous one, because people see it and become more curious! That grabs people's attention and humour sells in more ways than one. We all need humour and embrace humour and when we see a funny title we are intrigued. I am careful to label my discussions as well in the right place as well as tags, it takes a little extra time but in the end it's worth it, if you take pride in your postings as well as your responses it makes a great difference.

I do try to label them of interest to people so that they will get more responses and so that I can respond. I do enjoy responding even if I am not sure exactly what to say to the responder.
