GET BRANDED!
I got that idea from
Sarah Evans, one of the names behind
namechk.com.
The idea behind namechk? It's a Web site that checks to see if your username still is available at dozens of popular social networking Web sites.
"Promote your brand consistently by registering a username that is still available on the majority of the most popular sites," according to the site.
Because your username is your social media identity is your brand. Plus, one consistent username will make me easy to find on any social networking site.
Just look for
mcemilywrites.
Add me at my new
MySpace address. Friend me on Facebook. Follow me on
Twitter. And look for me on any other social networking site you generally use. (Any others I should be using?) (I'll probably also be moving my blog and -- gasp! -- actually blogging again on Blogger in the new future. I may need some design help, if anyone's feeling up to the challenge. Come on... you know you miss me!)
And, while you're at it,
let me know what you think of the "brand." Too informal? Too unoriginal? Or just right?

I tend to pick up thetheologianscafe on as many social networks as I can.
nah - one xanga/social site is all i can handle --DON'T GO!
@pamilvr - Hey! Thanks for the birthday wishes! I really was touched by that.
I use (and highly recommend) Google Reader to keep up on everybody's blogs, Xanga or otherwise. It's GENIUS! Check it out!
While I'm at it... Any of y'all know anybody who can help me design a header for all my social networking sites? I'm also planning to launch my own Web site, and I think I can handle the coding, it's just the header design I don't have the tools to conquer...
You're alive! I think. Ok, I'll recommend this post and see if your banner designer in shining armor shows up. How have you been lately?
However, I have a much different approach to social networking. I deliberately choose different names for each site. In case I ever get a stalker, I want to be able to drop one account without having to leave the web entirely. Admittedly, this is odd, but it does work for security purposes.
Woohoo, I think this sounds awesome girl! Are you on Blogger or planning to make that presence established later? I have really liked it (http://booktalkandmore.blogspot.com).
