I Want Your Opinion-- Should I Change The Name of this Blog?

For the longest time I've been thinking that this blog has the wrong name. I didn't quite understand the importance of a name for a blog when I started it. Remember that this blog and Shiloh Musings are among the oldest Jewish blogs still getting daily posts in the world. Actually, besides my husband's, I don't know of any other blogs as veteran as mine.

Since I didn't have a very clear idea of what I'd be posting here other than the fact that it wouldn't be political, I thought of "Meanderings" as a name but blogger said that the name had already be snagged. I then tried "meander," but if I remember correctly, that was also taken. So I just stuck the hyphen between the two syllables and invented "me-ander." It says nothing, therefore it doesn't draw any readers on google search. There was a time when the search engines were less sophisticated, and I'd find that people got to my blog by searching for "anderwear," sic.

I almost changed it a few years ago to something like:
  • thanks
  • grateful
  • miscellaneous 
I'm just wondering. What do you think? Do you have an idea for a name that would bring me more readers?

Honestly, I'd really appreciate your opinion, so please don't be shy about voicing it in the comments and even suggesting a name that would draw readers. Thanks!!!

Searching With Other Searches



Is it still "googling" when you use Ask? Google isn't the only search engine in town, you know.


One of my visitor counters provides a graphic to show all the search engines. Do you google on Google, or somewhere else?
I'm the contrary type. I hate to think that I'm doing what everyone else is doing, so I started asking instead of googling.
