Need a New Tagline
A few weeks ago I won a blog redesign from Beth at Ruby and Roja. Let me just say right now how awesome she has been to work with. I was already a huge fan of her personal blog, but she is just as fabulous on a professional level. I’m really having trouble making a decision (surprise, surprise), but Beth has been so patient with me and hasn’t called me a crazy lunatic. Yet.
Anyway, she asked me if I would like to keep my tagline the same. I nearly died laughing because I actually forgot I had a tagline.
When I first started blogging I really couldn’t think of anything, so I just typed in “A Little Bit of Everything” thinking I would change it when I thought of something more clever. Of course that day never came.
The pressure is now on to think of a really awesome tagline that totally conveys what this site is all about and why the visitor should keep coming back for more. I’m just having a really hard time summing all of my ramblings into one clear, concise little line.
When I first started this blog, I thought I was going to talk more about home organization, books and wine. I haven’t done much organizing in awhile, and it is taking me forever to finish one book. I also realized I know nothing about wine other than I like to drink it because it makes me drunk. Don’t ask me about notes or opacity (I even had to Google wine tasting to find this word) because I haven’t the slightest clue.
This blog is about so many things and doesn’t really have a cohesive theme or topic. Here is what I know for sure:
I love talking incessantly about Ryan, McGosling and anything Gosling related.
I love complaining about cleaning my house instead of actually cleaning my house.
I love showing off when I actually do clean my house.
I love sharing my love of movies with others at the Movie Madness Carnival.
I love writing letters to celebrities and big corporations, usually complaining about something they have done to pluck my nerves.
I love having a place to vent about the trials and tribulations of being a mom, wife and woman.
I love that Friday Eye Candy makes all of those troubles slip away.
I love that so many of you signed up for the Looking Fine in 2009 challenge and that I’m not the only one that feels like a big frumper (just made that word up).
I love trying to make a difference in the world even though I’m probably not. It still makes me feel better to try.
So there you have it. The problem is knowing how to condense all of these little things into one tagline that might actually trick a reader into thinking that they should bookmark the page or subscribe to my feed. Do I even need a tagline?
I’d really appreciate help from some of my loyal readers. If you can tell me what the heck this blog is about, just leave me your idea for a tagline in the comments below. I’d love to say I’ll send you a prize if I pick yours, but I just spent $350 at the vets on “The Sickest Cat to Ever Walk the Face of the Earth” . (I really do love the guy but the amount of money that I have had to pay to sustain his life is almost laughable. Well, if I don’t laugh I’m going to have to cry.)
You are all so creative and smart and witty (oh yes, I’m totally sucking up) so I’m looking forward to reading your ideas.

“Rambling With Purpose”
“My Perspective”
“Frumpin, Jumpin and Thumpin”
[Reply]
How about from Ryan Gosling, Changing the world, and everything in between
Yeah, I suck at this stuff.
My blog is called My friend amy
enough said.
[Reply]
“your one stop shop for gossip, gawking & gawking @ Gosling”?
yeah I suck at this, too…
I kind of like a little bit of everything – I know it’s pretty standard but it’s also pretty true…
[Reply]
That’s why I don’t have a tagline.
[Reply]
Well, you know my humor, so don’t be offended by some of these ideas…
“pop culture & real life intertwined.”
“a buncha crap.”
“you never know what you’re going to get.”
That’s all I have! And I have called you a lunatic, I just said it behind your back. I KID! You’re wonderful!
[Reply]
wish I could help but I’m not creative @ all! I don’t even have a tag line! Can’t wait to see what every1 else who actually is creative comes up w/ though!
[Reply]
I actually really like the tabline you have now. Even if it was spur-of-the-moment and meant to change, it fits. You’re a little bit of everything and a whole lot of fun. Hey…there you go!
Either that or “Ryan Gosling and some other stuff, too” *smiles*
[Reply]
to steal partly from Jen E but modify:
Gossip, Grumbling & Gosling
or
switch them around. I think I liked this one best.
[Reply]
What about ‘Griping,Gossiping and Gosling’ ….or something along those lines.
Excited to see the results of the makeover!
[Reply]
OMG OMG just as I posted this I looked up and saw almost the exact same thing as I wrote!!! I SWEAR I DIDN’T COPY Wawa’s idea! I’m all red in the face. I had your blog open for awhile…gave my daughter a bath consulted the husband on idea’s for you. We came up with the above result and as I posted it your page refreshed and voila it looks like I stole someone else’s idea!! Oh the shame. But I swear it was genuine!! But maybe it means it’s the one you are supposed to choose!!

Changing the world, one piece of eye candy at a time.
I don’t know. Id have to really think about it.
You gotta have Gosling, Gossip and Eye Candy in there some how.

Your Daily Mish Mash…better than potatoes
[Reply]
I like ‘a little bit of everything.’ I’m also fairly certain that is because I’m unable to come up with anything witty, or clever. I’m always a fan of the word ‘bitchin’ though…maybe that could fit in somewhere….’a little bit of everything bitchin’…’

I’ve never read a blog with so many activities. I can’t wait to participate. Friday Eye Candy was fun, let me know when I can submit my list. I have a great shot of Janet Reno in a thong bikini to post. It’s my screensaver;)
[Reply]
I think Jen E’s is hystrical. As is this post. I need to put you on my list for Saucy blogs. So funny.
[Reply]
Oh goodness I read your post and felt so much pressure to come up with something great and witty in cae nobody else had commented yet. But hooray for the 15 previous posters they have some fabulous ideas.
Now you just have to choose.
Hope your cat is ok, honey.

I keep thinking of the daily mish mash as being dinnertime with a picky kid being whiny and asking what’s in the food for the zillionth time.
Just eat it.
Stop asking questions and eat your dinner.
Try it you’ll like it.
Just try one bite.
It’s good. I promise.
Mmmmm…..
Yum!
Stop making faces and eat.

I actually just love “looking fine in 2009″ – maybe save that for next year’s tagline…
[Reply]
I completely suck at this sort of thing, BUT i loved whoever said Rambling with Purpose, or something like that… I would page up but my laptop is acting geriatric and I’m doing good to be here at all…
so there you know where your blog ranks as a priority in my life- I fought with a stubborn dinosoar to get here…
[Reply]
“A sprinkle of this and a pinch of that…”
I’ve not read your blog, so I’m going off what I see.
[Reply]
Play around with this website. You might find something very original. Plus it’s a lot of fun to see what it comes up with. Good luck!

Generally I kinda suck at this sort of thing. However, because I wuvs you I will think about it (oh that agony, I will actually have to USE that thing between my ears) and let ya know if I come up with anything half-way decent!
[Reply]
Hi, I came over via Beth’s blog and without knowing too much about you yet other than from this post and your about page, how about something like -
1) Try it with coffee (or you could use wine, too)
2) a blog of the completely unrelated
3) a little bit of ‘whine’ and cheese
Hmm . . . I’ll think some more. I also like one of those mentioned by Nancy above – “try it you’ll like it.”

Oh, you don’t want me to suggest anything. I have been pondering a new tagline for my blog as well and so far have…nada. I like several of the above suggestions, though!!
[Reply]
Hmmm, just throwing some random crap out there for ya:
1. Where specificity goes to die
2. Mish Mash is like a box of chocolate…..you never know what you’re going to get
3. Yeah, that’s it.
4. Wallow in the mish-mashiness of it all
[Reply]
Oh My Goodness, what good ideas everyone has posted! Yikes! We adore the blog, but could only come up with a few:
1) “Mish-Mash: Because you can’t eat just one….” or,
1a) “Mish-Mash: Betcha’ can’t read just one…”
2) “Mish-Mash: The good, the gossip, the snuggly.”
3) “Mish-Mash: much better than homemade.”
We realize these are completely weird and of no assistance whatsoever, but there you have them. Sending you a bucket of Labor Day grins and giggles,
TP
PS: Mish-Mash: “Grins, giggles and gossip…” (Even reading it methinks it is not very good.)
[Reply]
“Trying to be me”
“I love me some McGosling”
“Everything INCLUDING Gosling”
“What?”
Here’s a few. I like the last one best, personally….although it’s more suited for my blog than yours.
Good luck. Can’t wait to see the finished product!

Hi there! I’m just popping over from Beth’s place. I’ve never read your blog, but that’s quite a list that you’ve got that you want to encompass!! Mish Mash makes me think of food and cooking too (most everyhing makes me think of food, though) so this is what I thought of..
“Daily Mish Mash — Masterfully Mixing the Momentous and the Mundane”

“Daily Mish Mash – A Daily Look at Everything All Mashed Into One”

Hi! First time here. Looks like a fun blog! I will definitely bookmark it!
How about:
Everything Worth Blogging About
or
A Heaping Spoonful of Bloggy Goodness
That’s all I’ve got right now. I’ll probably think about this for the rest of the day!
