Untitled No More

Welcome to the ONE HUNDREDTH POST of your favorite source for nonsense, Untitled Blogger Project words...words...words...!

I wanted to do something cool for my 100th post, and it turns out that "something cool" meant completely re-design and re-title my blog. This was the title I originally had in mind when I started the blog, but the exact web address was not available. I didn't want a blog title that I couldn't have a matching web address for, so I went with "Untitled Blogger Project". It was supposed to be a play on the way movie scripts are titled when they don't have a real title yet. That's also why I was using that lame Courier font that I never liked. But the theme never really came across.

I can hear none of you asking, "So what does the name mean, anyway?" There was an episode of Beavis & Butt-Head where Butt-Head was making a vain attempt to concentrate on his reading. As he went along he mumbled, "words...words...words..." I remembered it because it was funny, and when the internet came around, I thought it aptly described the experience of reading online. People indifferently reading nondescript material that often didn't deserve much more. I imagined people reading my nondescript undeserving blog indifferently, and a name was born.

In a few days, I'm going to change the web address to reflect the new title. So in case you're one of those masochists that reads my blog on a regular basis, I'll come back and edit this post to list the new web address you can punch into your web reading tracking thingy of choice.

Thanks, and I hope you like the new blog!
