Blog Name or Real Name?

by Sam Davidson on July 28, 2006

For those of you on my ‘Daily Dose’ list (and anyone else who cares) – would you rather I list your name or the name of your blog? Mine are the same, so I can’t answer. Let me know what you think; I’ll probably just rename the links to your blog name if you want. Otherwise I’ll let people be able to Google for you (and increase my site traffic and AdSense revenue – $0.76 and counting!).

Fantastic layout. I’m itching to change mine up a bit as well, but am not quite sure how to go about making it work the way I envision it.

I love reading http://www.aldaily.com and like how they have different columns for different subjects. If I can figure out how to to that, I will be able to separate my music posts from my family posts from my more philosophical (and brilliant!) midnight ponderings.

As for my presence on The Daily Dose, I can’t seem to think of a preference. It’s just cool to have “my name in lights” anyway.

All my best.

I like the idea of using either a person’s name or the blog name, depending on which is more descriptive. For mine the blog name may be better since I use a pseudonym to remain anonymous. That way I can be brutally honest. I’m trying hard to think of a better blog name, but it’s hard!

BYW, very nice new layout! It looks great!! It’s always impressive when people put those tabs across the top. That’s pretty advanced. :)

Another ps — I like the heading bar across the top on this version of the site a lot more than the old one! Nice green background. The old one was you on a skateboard, right? Are you even into that?

Thanks. I was on a trampoline…and I’m not really into skating…or trampolining.

I’ve always used my real name for personal websites and blogs. And I have continued this practice because one of my friends and mentors- Jack Yan of Jack Yan and Associates uses his- the catch is that it keeps you honest to protect your reputation. See: http://www.jyanet.com/
