The importance of having a great name for your blog

One of the great things about having your own blog is the ability it gives you to creatively express yourself.

Having a blog title that not only accurately represents what you’re all about but also works effectively in a marketing sense is no easy feat.

And if you come up with a fantastic name, then of course you need an equally fabulous design to do it justice.

A key factor in the name stakes is being able to secure the domain name – not always possible and can be challenging sometimes.

Here are some ripper blog names (in no particular order) that literally jump out of the computer (or iPad or smartphone) and ingrain themselves on my brain. What do you think? Love to hear your ‘really cool blog name’ nomination/s!
