At least in my experience, apostrophes are sometimes handled poorly by browsers and media channels where my articles are shared, so I tend to avoid them in blog post titles, although my blog's title has an apostrophe.

Also not really possible with browsers.

Your blog title graphic and your FT handle each lack an apostrophe. Your blog's "about" page repeatedly uses "Renés Points" without an apostrophe. All very confusing as to the quantity of Renés running the blog.

ETA: Doesn't matter how you spell the name; if it is your points then it is possessive and there should be an apostrophe somewhere in there.

Besides, the blog is written in English so English grammar would apply even if the name is of foreign origin.
If the singular name is spelled Renés then the possessive would be Renés' (maybe with another "s" after the apostrophe). If the singular name is spelled René then the possessive would be René's.

Seriously guys? I can't stand his blog but how many posts over an apostrophe are we going to make? Of all the things to complain about this is really low on the list.
