Do you add a prefix on blog posts titles?

Loading last updated info...

The prefix is used to give context to your blog posts (or other type of content), so users know what to expect.

Example 1: Use "CODE:" when your blog post is about coding or "VIDEO:" when it has a video.

You should also use prefixes (based on the content, like lists) for grouping and a better scanning:

  • Configure your work email on your mobile
  • Mobile Phone Answering Message
  • Install the Control4 App on your phone
  • Configure Teams
  • Link your Azure & Azure DevOps benefits to your Organizational Account
  • Request Access to VSTS Projects
  • Do you know how to find stuff?
  • Setup and Create a timesheet in TimePRO
  • Setup your HR Records (Not for Work Experience)
  • Your details on payroll system CRM - Add your details to CRM
  • Make a small code change on SugarLearning.com (Developers only)

  • Phone - Install the Control4 App on your phone
  • PC - Configure Teams
  • DevOps - Link your Azure & Azure DevOps benefits to your Organizational Account
  • DevOps - Request Access to VSTS Projects
  • Intranet - Do you know how to find stuff?
  • TimePro - Setup and Create a timesheet in TimePRO
  • CRM - Setup your HR Records (Not for Work Experience)
