Do you add a prefix on blog posts titles?

Last updated by Tiago Araújo [SSW] 5 months ago.See history

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 - Configure your work email on your mobile

  • 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) 
  • CRM - Your details on payroll system CRM - Add your details to CRM 
  • Exercise - Make a small code change on SugarLearning.com (Developers only)
