Hi Ed, that is perfectly fine and is really a staple for "attention-grabbing" while simultaneously using the title of the blog post within the Facebook preview as complementary copy. I speak more from a social media/ marketing perspective, of course.

We could probably just go with "Read this editor's advice first," as the previewed title will contain the rest, but I'm not sure if that's best practice for Facebook. Michael, Joe, your thoughts?
