Bloggerated.com?

So here's what I'm wrestling with right now.  I don't really like the fact that my blogs domain name is my real name.  Granted, I also have nothing to hide, but it's just sort of unremarkable.  I go back to this subject every so often, the question of weather I want to market myself or not.  Who the hell am I?

I want my blog to show up when people search for subject that I have written about.  I also want more readers. But I can't control that.  My only hope is that it would spread to the people I know and love and then out beyond that, to people I don't know.

Anyway, Bloggerated.com is available, but if I actually plop down the ten bucks to have it, that really puts the pressure on me to actually update this more often.  What should I do?

I'm leaning towards doing it, even though I know it does not matter what the actual domain name is.  I just think it'd be neat to have my own domain name.  Is it worth $10 to feel neat?  Maybe?  So, I'm mulling it.  Who knows.  I'll probably do it in the next few weeks, I suppose.  I enjoy doing this, so why not make a little bit "more professional?"

Moving?

I've received an interesting business offer recently. I was receiving heavy pressure from a certain 15 year old to change some things around these parts. I received a very lucrative offer to move this blog. An offer to move from Blogger to Tumblr.

Ditch Blogger? Haven't I just gotten good at maintaining this for the first time ever? Why would I change it right now? That just seems absurd. But...I don't know. And when I say lucrative, I mean she said "You should sign up for a Tumblr." Tumblr seems entertaining enough, and I know how to maintain a blog now, so you would think it wouldn't be that big of a deal. Plus, I've been pounding away at these keys on blogger and gaining "no traction" for a few months now, and I know that with a connection to a well-liked Tumblr, that could help get my message out there. That message, by the way, is utter nonsense. I need to spread utter nonsense all over the place. Utter nonsense also sounds like unpasteurized milk, don't you think?

But seriously. If I moved to Tumblr, would I enjoy it? I mean, for real, I enjoy just writing stuff down. The site on which I do it shouldn't matter, because this ain't no goddamn social networking.

On a completely different side note, I don't know if it's my word selection this morning, but I have never seen so many red squiggly lines in my life. It's a rough morning, to say the least.

So if I decide to make the jump, I will make sure you readers are the first to know. I already made two leaps to make it to Blogger, so might as well make it a triple jump? First from Livejournal, to Myspace blogs, to here. We shall see. As of right now, I'm not going anywhere. But if enough convincing is done, I just might.
