You will begin blogging soon, and, so, you need to think of a clever URL for your blog. We will use the Google blogging platform Blogger, and your URL will be _____ .blogspot.com. Like mine is drjonessclassnotes.blogspot.com.
So ... come up with something creative, something that express you for those first several letters of your own URL. I'll give you three examples.
First, one of America's most influential bloggers is a guy named Andrew Sullivan (you can google him), and he made a name for himself when he wrote for The Daily Beast. In fact, he became so influential that he started his own blog called The Dish. Now, I'm sure you get the reference, right? The Urban Dictionary defines "the dish" as "the scoop only bigger." Mr. Sullivan is a clever guy! (Unfortunately, The Dish ended continuous publication last June.)
Second, former Houston Chronicle reporter Jenny Lawson runs a blog she's dubbed The Bloggess. She's not a "goddess" she's the "bloggess" -- cha-ching! Oh, and she wins lots and lots of awards too for her scathing, sarcastic humor.
Third, two years ago I had a student named Melanie, and she named her blog "Peanut Butter and Melly." Her URL reflected this accordingly.
Hopefully, these examples illustrate and, well, inspire. Pick a strong name as it will "brand" your blog.
