Thinking of taking my daily outfits posts I’ve been making to Instgram and spinning up a separate/hosted micro.blog account to route those to as well. Just trying to come up with a good name.

@patrickrhone maybe you could get a cool end domain like PatrickRhone.Fashion (which according to hover, is available...as is PatrickRhone.sale 🤔)

@ChrisJWilson That said, I was thinking of keeping it a something.micro.blog for now for a couple reasons (i.e. not a custom domain). 1) It helps to promote Micro.blog 2) Less work/DNS fiddling. That said, whatever that "something" is I'll likely register the domain to protect and provide future options.

@patrickrhone I've been thinking along similar lines regarding my sewing posts; how do you think about "keeping it all together" vs “spinning up something new”? (Maybe I'm the only one who flails on that question.)

@nnnnnathan You're not the only one. I do as well. I guess what flips the switch for me for the "something new" is when I have (or plan to have) a lot of the same thing. In this case, I’ve been posting my outfits mostly daily and would prefer not to “clog" my regular blog with “selfie" posts.

@rnv Ooh. I like that too. I'd do Daily Threads (plural) instead.

@rnv Both your suggestions are so good I'm having a hard time deciding between the two. May come down to a coin toss.

Have registered dailythread.blog and savillerhone.com just in case.

@patrickrhone Not the deciding factor for sure, but dailythread(s).blog is way easier to read and parse as a URL without help or capitalization.

@bennorris Opinion noted. Thanks for that valuable piece of feedback.

@rnv Have you ever considered a career as a domain name generator? ;-)

I chose to go with daily thread as singular because it made more sense from a catchphrase standpoint (a la “daily bread) .

The other ones are good/funny but I like these two and will likely go with dailythread.blog.

Thanks so much!

There we go, a fallback career for poets and other masters of linguistic dexterity ;-)
