What's the first thing people read? The title. If they don't like the title, why would they keep reading? I'd be much more likely to read something entitled The Fetid Fungus of Frederick's Foot than I would Athlete's Foot: A History.
You know, I only just realized my probably unhealthy obsession with alliteration.
I have been wanting to start a "blog" (I hate that word) for ages - probably upwards of two years. What was holding me back? A meaningful, creative, and descriptive title, yet one that didn't pigeon-hole me into certain types of topics. I'm a parent, I'm interested in politics, but naming a blog The Political Parent pretty much guarantees I'm going to feel like I need to stick to topics that are both political and relate to parenting somehow.
Oho, there's that alliteration again.
And so finally, today, with much help from thesaurus.com (thank you, internet, by the way, for saving me from hours poring over a dusty reference book), I have arrived at the perfect blog (shudder) title - one that is only marginally descriptive, but most certainly does not limit me to any realm of topics, and one which is rife with delicious alliteration.
What more could one want in the title of a blog? (I'll need to think of a new word to replace that, seriously.)

Wow, I never put much thought into the Title of my blog! Now I feel insecure. "Andrew's Journey" and/or "TheLatinovichFamily" seems so blah now :)
Ahhh, I quit blogging after a week anyway. I'm hopeful you can maintain it better than I. I seem to stick with things for a week at a time around here.
I blogged my JOT for a week, my daily affirmations for a week, a few weeks about my Sons Journey through ASD, and now...I'm just reading yours and others instead :)
It looks like a great start, and I can't wait to see what you have to "blog" in the future.
PS-I hate the word blog to! What the heck does it even mean? Obviously I really don't care that much, or I could just search the internet for that answer :)
Happy Bloggin'!
(Sigh...really, let me know when you find a new word for it, LOL!)
Nice blog! I like your title too! Much more creative than mine. I am going to change it eventually, when I think of something I like better. : )
Keep it up and most importantly HAVE FUN!
