Writing for the Web - Headlines and Teasers
Headline
Teaser
- Should be like a “slide” for the user into the article
- The style depends on your users (serious news-style; tabloid style)
- Make the first words count (important, carrying information; makes scanning easier)
- Put details into the text – not the teaser
- Maximum 300 characters
How to Shorten Links
Sometimes Links can get very long.

You can shorten them using Services like tiny.url or bit.ly

You can choose an optional name. And - if you have an account - you can see how many people clicked on your link using bit.ly.
