One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to remain a more active blogger. While I initially started this blog and Cingle in the City to share my thoughts, feelings and personal accounts, I’ve realized in recent years that the blogosphere offers a great opportunity to connect with people who share similar interests. I’d like to become more immersed in the culture of blogging, not just the act of blogging.
To that end, I’ve been noodling around the idea of starting another blog, one that is purely dedicated to an area of my life that I love, food. I heart food: Eating it, cooking it, talking about it, learning about it. So I’ve been thinking about starting a blog that focuses on recipe-sharing, restaurant reviews and general musings about my favorite forms of sustenance.
Over the last couple of days, I’ve been thinking of titles for the blog and researching potential .blogspot addresses. Which is where my rant comes in. WHY DO PEOPLE RESERVE BLOG ADDRESSES AND THEN NEVER USE THEM?!?!?!?!
That’s right http://epicurious.blogspot.com, http://epi-curious.blogspot.com, http://iheartfood.blogspot.com, http://yummyinmytummy.blogspot.com and others… I’m talking to YOU!!!
Stay tuned while I keep thinking about this new blog and searching for potential addresses. In the meantime, rest assured that I am totally stewing over the fact that all the good names are taken.

I think people do this so you have to buy the new domain..lol
ReplyDeleteWWW address whores they are. It's all about making $.
ReplyDeleteI totally started a food blog for New Years as well. It took me forever to come up with a concept and a domain name that would stand out a teeny bit from all teh food blogs out there.
ReplyDeleteI have a food blog. Of sorts. It's not original. It's rarely updated. Somebody should shoot it and put it out of its misery.
ReplyDeleteit's rude. If you are going to deprive someone of an address you should use it.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. It took me forever to find my current blog address, and even then I'm not completely satisfied with it. All the good ones were taken. Blah. Someone above said it correctly: address whores.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of doing a food/recipe blog too. It would be cool to share recipes!
Hehe I had exactly the same problem as you which is why I had to come up with the -, _ alternative. I came up with so many different lovefood (yaddayadda) names and they were taken. 99% of them had absolutely nothing on them. Was furious.
ReplyDeleteAh such nice names and all wasted. /cry
