I have my Name in my Domain! Do You?
I’m in a list mood today, but don’t want to annoy too many people so I’ll try to control myself at two for today!
Inspired by the Dot Com Mogul Rules and the Tech List which came from JMH Techtronics, I thought a fun and unique list to start creating would be the Name in My Domain List – pretty catchy, huh? As we all know, picking a domain name for your new blog is one of the hardest things to do, but there are the few of us who are narcassistic enough to bypass the thinking and put our own name in the domain name.
The Rules
To be included on this list – the real name of the author must be included in the domain name. I was thinking about saying that you have to include your whole name in the domain, but honestly, it’s the Name in My Domain list, not the Full Name in My Domain list. Also, subdomains of your current sites do not count for sure. That’s just cheating. Good thing I remembered to mention that! You will see what I’m talking about as you see the list below.
Instructions
***Start Copying Here***
1) Write a short introduction paragraph about what how you found the list and include a link to the blog that referred you to the list.
2) COPY the ENTIRE List below and add it to your blog. To avoid duplicate content and increase the amount of keywords your site can accessible for, go ahead and change the titles of the blog. Just don’t change the links of the blog.
3) Take “My Adds” and move them into the “My Originals” list.
4) Add 3 Brand New Narcissistic Bloggers that you know of
My Adds
Nathan Drach
Saman Sadeghi
Kumiko Suzuki - sorry, but you got voted out
My Originals
Gary Lee
Ed Lau
John Chow
Nate Whitehill
Stephen Fung
Michael Kwan
Jeff Kee
Stuart Hannig
Hannes Johnson
Nomar
Jimi Morrison - *Update* – Please Add Jimi (originator of the Tech List) to your List as this was forgotten in the Original
***Stop Copying Here***
I really can’t wait to see how far this progresses. I hope this list becomes a mile long so I don’t feel too narsassistic.

Hey, Gary, what do I do when more people start from mine, other than there posting about it. Do I add there name and link to my list ?
Thank you Gary !
Gary Lee 2.40 pm on 09.05.2007 Permalink
Hey Greg . . . all you have to do is make sure you add 3 or more brand new blogs that haven’t done the train to the original list and then post it on your blog. it should take off from there. You don’t have to add anyone after that!
