Name that blog
Written by Lisa Renee Ward | | lward@toledofreepress.comAs I sit at my computer and search the Internet, there are times when the name of a blog catches my attention and that alone draws me in out of curiosity to see what that blog can be about. There are also times when a name of a blog gives you a pretty good idea of what to expect, but still has a creative name.
When I saw the title, “Hey , There is a Dead Guy in my Living Room,” I wondered, a blog about murders or a blog about mysteries. It’s a blog about how to write mystery books from an idea to publication. One of the writers is embarking to one of my favorite places, Roswell…
“I eat Snowman Poop,” well I don’t of course, I don’t know how to explain how that even happens but…That is the name of a personal blog that got my attention. I have to say it’s one of the more creative names I’ve come across so far.
This next one both the name and the url of the blog got my attention, the name of the blog is “Your Pharmacist May Hate You,” the url of the blog is “drugmonkey” which was hard to type, for some reason I kept wanting to type “drunkmonkey”. Beside the point but it made me laugh. The blog is the undercover stories of how every day working in a drug store can warp your mind. There are also some interesting articles there on politics and the pharmaceutical industry.
Sometimes a blog name asks a question, such as “How Green is?” which you are left to wonder what the next part is unless you visit. Then you’ll discover just what is green and how green it is. No, I’m not giving hints…
The name of the blog is “123 I love you,” which promises it will be more entertaining than the movie Deliverance. After visions of the movie were driven from my head, I noticed the url “iamgettingfat” hopefully not as some type of a precluder to the movie Deliverance. I do now however thanks to this blog know how I can get into trouble the next time I am on the elevators at One Government Center…
We are way over due for a reader’s contest, so what I want to know is, if you had to pick only one blog that you were able to read, what would it be? It can be local or national and on any topic. You can start sending in your submissions now until October 11th. Then depending on how many entries are received? Starting the issue of the Toledo Free Press of October 17, I’ll share what you think.
The e-mail address is glasscityjungle@gmail.com – please put “The One Blog” or something similar in your subject line to make it easy on me. For more of Lisa Renee you can also visit Glass City Jungle.
