People think my blog is named after coffee...it isn't!

Anyway, I read all types of blogs. If the content is great I keep going back!

Thanks for the explanation and why you named the blog Quiskaeya. I didn't know that was the name for Haiti. I learned something!

Interesting topic. I think that blog titles are specific to the blogger. I mean, when I read the title I assume it's a peek into their world and not a message that they only appeal to people like them. There are some sites/blogs where it's obvious it's based on readership and then there are some where their posts are regular everyday things that include a little culture and diversity knowledge and experience to share. (I'm sure that's a run-on sentence!)

I'm glad I popped over on this post though 'cause I was wondering about your blog name. I don't recall ever coming by your blog before. How rude of me!

I tend to agree with you. While such blog names can target specific groups, they can also target people interested in cultures and ethnicities that are different from their own. Why this is different from having a blog with a specific theme (e.g. wedding, motherhood, cooking) I don't know.
Thanks for stopping by my blog btw!

I have never considered a blog title as a sign for "off limits." If I have something to say, and want to, I do. Period.

My bloggy friends vary in ethnicity, faith, and age, which mirror my real life friends.

My blog title is general. However, I did add to the header to give a newbie quick insight on what to find there.

I love reading ethnic blogs. My blog just has a general name.
Great post.

Amazing post girlie!! My homeschooling blog name represents a meaning to me. Homegrown Mosaic encompasses what I'm trying to convey in my blog. I went back in forth with more ethnic names for my blog like: homeschooling while brown. Seriously it was between the two and I really resonated with Homegrown mosaic. Now the header of my blog it becomes obvious that this blog will be written from a black womans perspective. But, like Jael stated, I'm all over the place.

And to answer your question, I may visit an 'ethnic' site but if it doesn't speak to MY sensibilities then I'm out. Is that racial/ethnic profiling or personal preference? For me it's the latter.

Once again great topic.

Hi doll! I read blogs written by pretty much every type of person and I like it that way. However, using your examples of names, I admit unless they visited me first as an overture, I probably wouldn't go there. I would feel it was geared to something I don't necessarily fit in with, and that I wasn't welcome.

And I have been pronouncing your blog name correctly in my head! :)

Popping in from SITS!
Great post, My blog name is very general even though it represents a meaning. My initials are J.L. however I spell it out Jael. (Biblical meaning- Wild She goat)

I'm a Graphic Designer so, I'm very random on my blog but, I share resources, recipes, my journey to mompreneurship and just random moments.

I'm all over the place! I work full time, am married and have four children. Being focused isn't one of my strong points. Lol!

I'm always multitasking and I'm actually more productive in a very chaotic atmosphere vs. a calm one.
Go figure...
