Well there’s good news and bad news.
Whenever anyone says to me, there’s good news and there’s bad news, what do you want first? I always choose the bad news.
I figure, let’s get this over with.
Today I’ve got good news and bad news. What do you want first?
Too late, I’m making the decision for you. You’re getting the bad news.
I heard back from my attorney friend today. His legal opinion is that adding “Just” to an already trademarked “Be The Dog” could be considered trademark infringement.
Poop, thwarted again.
The way I see it I have two options. I can contact someone at the Be The Dog website and see about working on a collaboration or I can do my own thing.
I’m a do my own thing kind of girl….BUT….I really like Just Be The Dog. (Decisions, decisions.)
I’ve gotten some great advice from many of you. Not the least being choosing a blog name should be well thought out.
I have put a lot of thought into this and I feel strongly that the blog should somehow be associated with my name.
I sort of feel like an egomaniac saying that, but if I use my name, then I can write about whatever I want. I’m not pinned down to writing strictly about my life with Sampson and Delilah.
And then I discovered there’s another Jodi Stone who’s also a writer. No, no, it’s not the lady bug Jodi Stone, it’s a another one! Yes by golly, there’s three of us….all writers. This Jodi Stone has a facebook page and writes stories about princesses.
That all kind of sounds like bad news, but I wanted to give you that information so I could share some good news.
Here are two Jodi Stone names I’ve been considering:
thisisjodistone.com
youvereachedjodistone.com
I also thought I could stick with:
lifewithsampsonanddelilah.com
And then I kind of got a bit creative and thought of these two:
doinitdoggiestyle.com
whatsthebark.com
It’s a pretty major decision and I want to make sure it’s the right one for me.
When I started this blog I had no idea what I was doing, they said I needed a name and so I used mine. I didn’t use my imagination because I wasn’t sure what I wanted to blog about.
As it turns out, using my own name with the Life with Sampson and Delilah tagline, worked out pretty well. Because what I’ve come to realize is I’m selling myself as a writer, a speaker and I hope someday….a leader.
I’ve always said I’m technologically challenged, but if I’m reading all of your comments correctly, my blog will stay the same, it will just move over to the new website. When you go to this blog site, it will just be hosted somewhere else.
So what do you think? Did you like any of the names? Should I have a name the website contest?
Oh and speaking of contests, have you seen the Something Wagging Match Game? It’s pretty darn cool and yours truly is participating. If you haven’t checked it out, well what are you doing now? Head on over, Pamela’s giving away some awfully good swag. 🙂
