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?

P.

As far as changing the title, I think you can only do it when you are submitting the page for the first time. So whoever "discovers" it has to edit the title appropriately.

If you are working with a Wordpress blog, you can always use the Platinum SEO plugin to change your title from the default, that way the title of your post can be something other than your main blog name. I title mine by category, then post name, such as Blogging | Explaining Web 2.0 Features. That is what will come up on the Stumble title as well (assuming someone doesn't change it).
