Apparently everything.
While I've wanted a blog for nearly six months, the idea of naming it had been so over-whelming and intimidating that the task continually got pushed to the bottom of my to-do list. When my desire to blog resurfaced this week, I decided that now was the time to act. I could not go to bed another night as the "blogless girl." But there was still one little problem I had to address: the name. I mean, without a name I couldn't have a URL, and without a URL I might as well write a diary and hide it under my bed.
When it came time to brainstorm my mind was a complete blank, void of any idea worth mentioning. I sat in front of my computer starring into space. It was hopeless.
Thankfully, my trusted co-worker Marsha, who rarely suffers from a lack of ideas, was quick to come to my rescue. Off the top of her head she threw out titles that embodied everything I wanted in a name - wit, personality, pizzazz!
Unfortunately, upon checking the availability of these titles we realized that *gasp* people out there were just like us - witty and into blogs - but were much quicker when creating their accounts. Name after name was stolen from us - but the worst part? The majority of them stopped blogging in 2003! And all of them had ONLY ONE POST! One post? ONE POST?? All that was standing between me and my perfect blog name was one post from 2003?? SERIOUSLY?
As I was pulling out the white flag, believing it was a sign that the online world just wasn't ready for me, Marsha pulled out a doozey of a name (after checking its availability of course). And thus, That's What Smith Said was born.
Soooo....ummm....enjoy it?
