Today’s Tip:

If you want someone to read something don’t cut it off. This was the first time I had ever seen a site promote news but then cut the title off half way. I can see only displaying a certain number of words in the description but never in the title. The title should be the one line description of the article that pulls the reader in to investigate further. You cannot get your point across half way through a sentence.
