I think it might be time to rebrand the blog. I've struggled with the Why blog? question off and on - burning desire to post cute pictures? share my witty remarks? express outrage? habit?
When I first started this, I had just adopted Little Miss Cuteness (a.k.a. Bug, left) and was an avid reader of the Finster F-log. In the beginning, most of the entries were about Bug. However, there's a major flaw in a blog about Bug - she has a pretty simple life and doesn't say much that's quotable (there are peeps of happiness, peeps of contentedness, peeps of eating euphoria, peeps of irritation, peeps of "yer not skritching the right spot", peeps of "hey, where'd you go?", and peeps of "let me out", there are also some grunts that have similar meanings).
The F-log has bunches of finches and the Master of the Universe (a.k.a. Peanut). I, on the other hand, have political and issue content, the occasional home renovation, and miscellaneous life observations . . and, apparently, and identity crisis. So, out of 192 entries, only 58 of them are about Bug (I didn't count, the script counts entries by category).
So, if Bug Blog doesn't really reflect the blog, what does? Discuss.
oops, i posted my comment in the spousal travel section....

Well, really the blog is about Jen (who lives with Bug). So you could call it "Jen (who lives with Bug) Blog," instead of "Bug Blog." Since "bug" isn't in the URL you wouldn't even lose anything from search engines not being able to find you.
But I'd hate to lose the entries about Bug, and if you remove the masthead photo of her all wet from a bath Peanut and I will be very sad.

Luckily, I'd already decided on a theme when I read this and was planning to incorporate the Bug photo - phew.
