No brand is one of the many things I loved about Adam Freetly's entry into the Sandbox Designs competition, Promised Land. It's an interesting idea.

Thanks Ian, I hadn't seen that before. It is interesting.

One of my favorite Spanish blogs is titled, "Un blog sin tagline". Which is, "A blog without a tagline."
On my personal blog I've struggled to name it, but I just used my domain name. Giving it a title would be like naming my apartment. But for RA Project, it would be more like naming a business or organization.

I mostly have the domain name there, and linked as a way to get back "home" and to tell people where they are.
Never really thought about it. Hmmm.
Here I thought you'd be writing about naming themes, which is a different matter entirely.

Andrea, It is the fact that I never thought about it either that most interested me.
In the case of WPMUTutorials you have described what the blog is about, a blog that specific probably does benefit from having a name.
Likewise Ronald, Reader Appreciation Project makes it clear what you want to achieve which I think is a good plan.
Isn't a blog without a tagline, a tagline?

Heh, well I do tend to pick descriptive names. My personal blog, atypicalife.net, says it all as well. I do use a tagline there sometimes, depending on where we are and what we're doing.
The domain itself leaves one wondering where the spaces are: are we a typical life, or atypical life? The tagline there, again sort of pulls people in a little more. When my oldest was prepping and leaving for college, the tagline reflected that, and recently when we moved to the country, I changed the tagline to match.
Actually, I can't remember what that one says now and I think the theme I recently switched to doesn't have a tagline on it.
And running a few blogs for a while, and a blog network, the name & tagline are handy if you keep changing themes. Without it, people aren't sure if they're on the same site. :D

I hadn't considered changing the name according to circumstances, that's an interesting idea Andrea.
I can also see the problem that people would have if you regularly change themes. Any ideas how often the average WordPress blogger switches themes?
