write a blog post about the story and submit that instead
Well, actually, the guidelines ask us to submit the original. But you can submit the original and link to your blog in the comments.
- speeder 13y agoBut that does not fix the stupid title problem the person wanted to fix in first place.
- dhimes 13y agoIndeed. You can't fix stupid titles. But if there is a real issue with the title- it's misleading, sexist, or what-have-you, don't fix the title. Write your opinions as a comment or a separate blog post. The point is- the title isn't important enough to worry about- content is.
- timv 13y agoBut unless you read every article that hits the front page, titles are important. Titles are how I decide which articles to read, and often the original title doesn't explain why the article should/might be considered interesting by the HN audience.
