I mean "Sections 493 to 498A" is a little
vanilla. You should glance at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create article titles to grab people interested. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to get readers interested about everything've written.
Just my opinion, it might make your posts a
little livelier.
