You know, every blog I read, has a catchy title. My friend Heather Cashman calls hers Better off Read. I love that name. It’s catchy and clever.
Another one of my twitter friends has Angela Write Now – this is another name I love.Then another friend Dawn G Sparrow has her Write Now blog. I could go on and on about blog names, but suffice it to say – K.T. Hanna – writing and imagination, was not exactly imaginative now, was it?
So, last night two of the other members in my face-to-face crit group and I sat down and had a techie night.
What is a techie night you might ask?
Well, since this is the day and age of social media and blogs – it pretty much just involves setting up your blog with all the tools it’ll need.
Which brings me to The Scribble Muse. It’s cute, I like it – it’s almost whimsical, which is about 50% of my personality. It doesn’t portray the dark things I write, but you never know – perhaps one day I’ll write a fantastic comedy and then where would I be with a deliberately dark and horrifically named site, right? So even if you go to TheScribbleMuse.com you’ll get re-directed here. Cool, huh?
Still working on the site, tweaking some things, and generally trying to come up with the type of content I want to blog about, but generally – I’m happy with the advances made on our first techie night.
This weekend is Labour Day Weekend. I fully plan on having my own little writing retreat with lots of caffeine, a comfy chair and the last 25k of the 1st draft of my 2nd book. Tadaaaa 😀
What do you think about Blog names? Are they important, should I have capitalized Blog, and is it more important that the name mean something to the reader or the writer?
Oh, and what are you doing this weekend?
I love your name, it is very cute and super catchy.
This weekend, I am relaxing!!
By the way, we’re in the same Dystopian group for the Platform Building campaign and I wanted to say hi!
Thank you! I’m not sure why I like it, considering everything I write is dark, but I do! I’m glad you do too hehe.
Relaxing is a fantastic idea!
Thank you for dropping in to say hi! I’ll be making rounds today. I’m nervous and excited about the Platform Building campaign at the same time.
I agree there are a lot of fun blog titles out there, including yours. When I first started my blog (Writes By Moonlight) a few years ago, I opted for a “title” as well, though I’m debating that decision now. I started the blog as part of a platform building thing, yet I wonder if I’m not using my actual name, how will people know it’s me? A few of the blogs I’ve been following have switched from ‘titles’ to their actual names. I don’t know. It’s something to think about.
Thank you!
Yeah I was originally: K.T. Hanna – writing and imagination. But, it just felt sort of empty. I like The Scribble Muse – K.T. Hanna much better. Plus it’s at kthanna.com – and has thescribblemuse.com re-direct to it. So I hope that works.
I like your title. Maybe make your pen name your tagline?
It’s a good blog name. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Hi K.T.! Just rollin through, doing the rounds! We’re in the same dystopian group together.
Like the blog layout, btw. Very designerly.
Hi there F.E. (Is that okay to call you that?)
Thank you for popping by (I’ve been thinking of changing the layout lol), I popped over and joined your blog earlier. Really looking forward to campaigning with you – especially since I just got my google friend connect figured out! This is going to be fun!
I have to admit I read once that you should always have your name in the blog title. You want people to remember you if you want to be recognizable. I like cutsy names too, but the best names work in yours too so I remember the author. Or, at least, in my experience.
I tend to remember the catchy title and associate the author with it – but only if their name is visible. I just redid my header. I think it’s a bit better now. Matches the URL and has the cutesy name hehe.
