What happens when I publish with no title? Titles are friction. http://help.micro.blog/2018/setting-up-wordpress/ But titles from the post title in the head.

Waning eclipse today
Managed to take this photo of the waning eclipse today after figuring out how to set my phone to manual and squishing it up against a pair of community eclipse-glasses at the coffee shop I was at today.
