I don't think it's persnickety at all. I used to read a lot of resumes, and they all started looking the same after a while. I craved one that was just a little different. And, you're right. It's easy to miss something good when the intro is so bland. That’s funny. sometimes people don’t quite see the other side of the fence. I don’t think it’s persnickety at all.

It's a reminder to writers that a cool title is in itself a marketing tool. By the way, you might want to consider including something about this in your writers' guidelines, if you didn't already.

Please don't feel bad about organizing your potentially published writers. If we are published it's a feather in the cap and I believe you pay for the articles. Editors ask for formatting of files to fit their systems and minimize confusion. This is a more personal environment, I realize, but you are right about the possibility of missing wonderful material. I am familiar with that situation. Are you willing to put your file naming request in the instructions to writers that wish to submit an article? Writers that submit articles to other publications and write articles for pay are used to the drill. It's a necessity for both sides. Keep doing what you do. Trust your writers to help you find their heartfelt and wonderful articles. I would guess that you only need to let them all know. Homeschoolers are generally a cooperative bunch, as you know, and homeschoolers willing to share their experiences go a step beyond. Oh, Jeanne.
