Default Some questions about about Stumbleupon and Reddit I was always afraid to ask?

Either I am utterly stupid, or Stumbleupon's and Reddit's user interface really confused me.

1/ How can one edit the title of a submission in Stumbleupon?
No matter how I submit: from the Stumbleupon site, or from a widget, there seems to be no way I can edit the title of a submission. For blogger posts, it takes the full name of the blog with the blogpost title appended. I want to delete the name of the blog.

2/ I am a member of several Stumbleupon groups (even though it was a wizzard's task to figure out how to get to the groups, if you ask me). Now when I submit a post, can I also submit to a group. Or cross-post to a group?

3/ When submitting to Reddit, I can only select one of the groups I want the post to be submitted to. How can I crosspost (e.g. to 'News' and 'Worldnews') or submit to several groups at the same time?

4/ I am not sure how people get a lot of traffic through Stumbleupon. Is it because they submit stuff to groups? It does not seem to work when submitting "in general"... Is it by building a big network of 'friends'?

5/ Is there any other way to build a network of 'friends' on Stumbleupon, other than to tag someone as a friend? Any other function like 'Fave' someone?
