Headlines are definitely important for me, especially now that voting has become so much better after HF25 as it encourages manual voting. I really love the changes so far as it feels much more organic. The problem with that of course is that it is difficult to find posts that one would have wanted to vote on, e.g. I didn't see yours until you mentioned me.
You seem to do fine with headlines as they are always very precise; of course the thumbnail is also important (or even more important) but I love your illustrations so you got that right as well :)
So glad to hear they're important to you, and yes, excellent point regarding the improved voting now that HF25 is here.
And hmm... very interesting thoughts about 'finding posts' manually. Are people who want to see my posts missing them? Is this increased with the new HF? I'll think on this, thank you.
Yes, I wrote about the combination of thumbnails plus headlines here, and you're right, they're both extremely important for anyone publishing online, imho.
I'm honored to hear that you love them, thank you! 🙏
well I guess people have to pay attention to their feeds (maybe I am not using it too well :D) peakd also got an improved search site https://peakd.com/search which is working much better
I may be in the same boat as you, not using my feed as well as I could be. I wonder why that is. Hmm.
And yes, I saw @jarvie 's video on the improved search, it looks like a great improvement! Hopefully it helps more great content be discovered and rise to more prominent positions. :) 🙏
