1st comes the idea itself, then gather content, then think of a catchy phrase which I usually have written down a few for the post. Photos are last. 

I still write in NVu 1st then transfer over to AR.

It depends but I usually start with a general title before I start writing.  While I write, I save as I go so there is a title to go back to if something wonky happens before I'm finished.  After the Title, I write the post, choose a quote and image that fits the content, change the Title to fit the article, then do the bottom stuff. 

However, if I'm writing a post around a video I Title the post, insert the video then write the article. I always fill out the bottom part last.

I get an idea and write the first draft, refine, refine, then let me wife review and make edit suggestions. I edit, accepting most of the suggestions, but not all. I copy & paste from Word to AR. I usually have the title, but that's part of the writing process. I then add pictures or videos and do the final formatting within the AR platform.

I write all of my blog posts in MS Word first. Then I copy it to notepade to remove any formatting, and then I copy it into whatever platform I am posting on (Active Rain, WordPress, etc.). After that I add the image or video.

Bonus Tip - I also use Google's keyword tool in selecting my titles which helps with SEO.
