Why MyBloggers.com?

Why MyBloggers.com? I have been asked this question many times recently...so, I thought I would explain a bit about the name choice.

I purchased mybloggers.com for about $650 on eBay around 8-9 years ago. This was before the .com names exploded in value. I thought it was a cool name. I have had it since then wondering what to do with it. During those years, I was quite busy with other projects...plus, I just never really came up with anything fun.

A couple of years back John Heder and his brothers wanted to purchase the name for their production company (MyBloggers Productions). We talked for a bit, but no agreements were ever reached. BTW, John Heder (see below) is the guy who played Napoleon Dynamite (2004). He also was in Blades of Glory (2007) with Will Ferrell. I think I was going to let them use the name for nothing as long as he blogged something (on Blogster at the time) once a month. I think I was also trying to get an audience with John so my girls could meet him.




Again, the domain sat for a year or so... After I sold Blogster, I had some blogging code and an idle domain. So, I thought I would give MyBloggers a fancy design & do some recoding. That is about it...MyBloggers.com was born. Hmm, not really sure of the birth date though? I will have to come up with something good. How about January 01, 2008? I think I had the doors open in late 2007, but mostly it was beta users.

Oh, well! Now you know the MyBloggers.com story.

I have found it to be a good site since moving over here from Blogster.

Are you going to give us poor and downtrodden greasers an advanced editor so we can get rid of that had to see (I am old) gray.

Love it here - just moved from - well you can probably guess judging from all the familiar faces here!! Just like what the other place was before they started to play with it!!

Is it OK if I make up a t-shirt saying, "I GOT mybloggers.COM"?

Eddie, I appreciate it so much. This place is fun and light. The other place (as we've come to call it) was definitely not much fun anymore. In taking it over, they well, ruined it. Thanks so much for doing this, you've brought back the joy of blogging

I'm proud to be a greaser!

So, when do we get our free MyBloggers.com t-shirts?
Ok... It was just a thought....

I told A~Dawg about this site and his first reaction was KICK ARSE NAME! I don't claim to understand that sentiment, but I thought you might appreciate it.
