Blog Taglines
Every blog deserves a good tagline . . . you know, that great line of text that seems to sum up what your blog is about in approximately ten words or less. Often, a tagline is the first thing you really notice when you visit a blog for the first time. Sometimes, it helps us make the choice of whether to stick around and read more, or move on.
I did some surfing through blogland recently, and tried to compile a list of random taglines. Here they are, in no particular order:
- Musings of a Mom of 3
- The Unholy Marriage of Blogging and Writing
- A Conservative’s View of the World from the Heartland
- An Ordinary Layperson Stumbles Toward Sainthood
- I’ll be here the rest of the week
- Everytime I try to go where I really want to be, It’s already where I am
- I am a girl in college that thoroughly enjoys music, friends, and Disneyland
- Promulgations on a life spent in graduate school
- Prepare to be Educated and Entertained!
So if these were the taglines of blogs you were visiting, which ones would make you say, “Hmm. I’d like to know more” and which ones would have you clicking your “Back” button?
Taglines have a function - - they are the welcome mat of your blog. So, it is important to create a tagline that makes new readers want to stick around and get to know you and your blog a little better.
