About a month ago, I voiced the idea about changing my name (not the blog name, mind you, just my pseudonym) and the masses revolted. I had lurkers coming out of the woodwork with their first comment telling me to keep the name. Blog readers are very resistant to change, in my experience. If you want to change it, that's your call. But to quote a comment I got: you've spent the last X years building "brand temporarily me". You don't want to waste all that. <em>SciFi Dad's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TalesFromTheDadSide/~3/356223291/worst-son-in-world.html'>Worst Son In The World</a></em> I have to admit, I’m surprised the vote is that close.

I love Temporarily Me! It's cute! It's fun! It's...you. BUT! Samaramadingdong is ALSO super cute. So...I dunno. Tough decision. I do, however, vote that it either stays how it is or its Samaramadingdong. Nothing else allowed. :) <em>Karly's last blog post..<a href='http://wipingupsnot.com/2008/07/30/long-and-ranty-and-probably-too-many-bad-words-also-lots-of-caps-lock/'>Long And Ranty And Probably Too Many Bad Words.
