Blogtober16 - Meaning behind my blog name

Almost half way through the Blogtober challenge, and time to tell you the story of how Planetjodie came to be!

It is a relatively short story.

I decided to write a blog about 3 months ago, after failing to find something to entertain me after being unemployed for a while. When starting up, I remembered I had set up a blog called "Planet Jodie" and only posted one thing. I deleted the post and started from fresh. It seemed perfect.

I chose not to write about a specific genre, and write ideas that came to me. An opinion I wanted to share, review, diary of travel, just anything that came to mind. My Dad always jokes that I'm different and from Planet Jodie, so I think the name sums it up there!

Look forward to seeing you tomorrow to show you the timeline of my day as part of blogtober.

    1. It is a pretty ace name. Does your name ever get confused with Judy/Judith?

  3. Sometimes the perfect name is just there waiting for you to come along and use it. I like the idea of you being uniquely different and individual.

    1. Thanks! That's so , yeah it was strange how it came about. Had blogs before and they haven't lasted longer than 2/3 posts for different reasons...

  7. I think it's great when blogs don't have a specific niche and just write whatever they want.

    1. I thought it made me lazy, but suppose it stays interesting and suppose it doesn't limit the people who can read it

  13. It's good that you had the name already, it's always good to have a generic name which doesn't attach you to a particular niche incase you decide over time to change x

  15. It really is hard to pick the perfect blog name - especially if you want to grow and keep it for a few years.
