Why should the term "the sequences" even be in the title? What does it tell an uninformed reader? Does it have any useful meaning for anyone who hasn't already read them? (Why are they even called that, anyway? I mean... I guess it's just that it was a sequence of blog posts?) In what way is "The Sequences" or "[Some title]: the Sequences" better than "The Blog Posts" or "The Diary Entries"?

If they're editing this so much it's a single cohesive work, that's a huge amount of work. If they're not, then the subtitle should be something like "Essays 2006-2009" or "Blog posts 2006-2009" to make it clear that it's not.
