I hadn't even thought what I should call this Blog until about a day before I had to launch it. This was unwise because, after only a few minutes research about Blogging, it was clear to me that the name was a very important thing. One Blogging guide I read even suggested that the name of your Blog should be available as a web address (suggesting a level of ambition that I never imagined for my own Blog). I quickly saved a number of names that were available and I was hopeful that one of my shortlist would be a goer. After bothering everyone on Twitter over a 24 hr period - the survey results were returned and are shown below. Thanks to everyone who joined in, I was pleased with the level of interest shown (although a bit upset about the suggestion 'Weed Pole' - come forward whoever you are and explain yourself). After 'Boris goes skiing' took an early lead, 'Read Pole' came storming through in the end. Lots of people wanted to make their own suggestions too but I have decided to go with popular opinion.
So 'Read Pole' it is - I hope it will prove a hit. It is short and simple, links to my Twitter name, so hopefully it is memorable. It contains the word 'read'! erm, I am scraping the barrel here - what more could you want?
Yes, yes - I know - someone named Boris going skiing!
