Whether to Choose A Blog Title or a Post Title, you will have to be extremely careful. first impression is the best impression. Choosing a Good Title for your blog helps in growth. How? If the name catches attention, surely people are more likely to remember the site url (Works best if Url and Site Title are the same) . This may also encourage promotion by the Word of Mouth. When He/she remembers the Url, they may convey the message to other people. Even if the didn’t have time to get a good look of your site, they are sure to visit again.
So choosing is important. Decision making skills can help you here. Think Twice before you act.
Choosing A Post Title
You may think it’s silly, but to a Blogger, promotion is the key, and Wise Decisions = effective promotion. If the Post Title doesn’t get that much of attention, even if you have good body content, the Reader/Visitor may ignore that post, Which affects your Blog.
Wise Decisions really help. Another thing is that if you are a young Blogger like me, These Decisions may later help in your life (To make better decisions)
The Wording Effect
Yes, wording matters. Consumers are more attracted to an ad showing 75% lean than an ad showing 25% fat. Not enough evidence, then search your mind…..
The wording effect can also affect you while commenting. The wordings would reflect your personality or individuality. So you have to be careful while commenting.
Advertisers usually take advantage of this wording effect. As I said before, We are more attracted to 75% lean than 25% fat. Isn’t that amazing ? We have to blame it on Our Brain..Poor Brian, He/She does all the work for us and still we scold him.
Conclusion
That’s it. Yes, That’s all what I got for you Today 
For the conclusion, I would say
Wise Decision making skills can help you to be a Better Blogger. Remember you need these skills throughout your life. We, humans make decisions everyday. How ? Arguing with me…Then here is my answer : Don’t you make Decision about Going to work, Brushing your teeth etc. Be careful with your Wordings.

Jeevan I completely agree with you that a title is among the most important things for your article, it is the number 1 item seen when a user searches for something and listings come up. It has to be attractive and garner attention and have the targeted keywords in the title of the article itself.
Secondary to the Title is the META description which is also is factored heavily when matching keywords and what displays on the SERP results in my opinion. I mentioned this elsewhere but when I write blog articles I usually decide what I want to write about, write the article, find what keywords I am specifically targeting and then my title will come last usually. Because I write on what I feel, I tend to write about a topic and find the keywords I want to target after its written instead of finding a keyword and writing around that, I know its backwards it is just how I work.

I usually go through a few ‘post titles’ before settling on the final one. Sometimes they come after I’ve written the post and tie in much better. Sometimes I decide the original title is better suited within the post itself. Sometimes I just want something odd and offbeat. I do want to draw in readers, but mostly want to feel good about writing a good post.

I title most posts as a question; thuis draws the reader in….add the call to action at the end, and you have a commenter, hopefully a permanent reader.

It is a good Idea to title most articles as questions. An excellent way to draw attention….Call to action – the effective material used in persuasive essays.
By the way – Thanks for the comment.

Another good thing is to end the post also with a questions
I guess you are talking about post title and not blog title?
Blog title is something you think about once when you start your blog. Usually, it matched your domain name (or rather, you look for a domain name based on the title you want). Choosing the right title for a blog is very important.
Then there’s the issue of selecting the title for each post, which I think is what you’re focusing here. I would say the most important thing to do is see what people are looking for – it’s both good SEO and good people’s O

Hi Anne,
First of all thanks for the comment. I am talking about both of them, although I am focusing on Post title.
If you have made this mistake , you can rectify it by changing the title and try connecting with other bloggers for some suggestions and feedback. Although initially mistakes must be done by all bloggers to make them perfect
What did you do Hesham when you had done this mistake??

Decision making is needed for every work.. Especially in blogging we should take a right decision regarding post title. This is one of the keyword to attract readers..
One more thing, we have to write a catchy first paragraph. This will make our readers to read the whole content of that article…We need to spend extra time regarding this..

Thanks for the comment…Think twice before you act. There are lot of moral stories related to this. In this fast moving world, We don’t think much, That is the main reason, why we are having so many problems and failures today. Ancient and Middle ages were better developed (I would say because We think faster and we don’t think about consequences) than Our Modern age.
