As I mentioned in my previous post, I wish to move this blog to a new domain. One day, I suddenly found my stuffs here are a little messy, moving will force me to re-organise them.
Also, I have been thinking of having a theme in my blog. I personally like blogs that have themes, for example, my favouraite blog theme is FOOD ! Heehee….There is always a reason to go back to that blog to find good food. Though I love food, I don’t want to manage a food blog. Just the thought of a food blog already makes me feel like I have gained some weights ! Haha !
I enjoy writing down my daily whining and blah-blah-blah. However, over the past 2 years, somehow I have evolved from writinng a blog only focusing on myself, to hoping to focus my enery in writing something I think will be useful for people, yet still maintain a nice personal touch. Otherwise, we can always go to many professional websites about certain topics.
So, for the past few days, I have been thinking – what am I really passionate about? What is that something I can give back? Travel and life as an immigrant in two countries….I guess. This is something I have been doing for the past 15 years. Maybe, by sharing more stories about living (well) in other countries will help some immigatants or give some lights to those who wish to do the same. You reckon?
It is also about time for me to sit down and write all my backpacking and trekking experiences. And of course, food still within this category – travel and looking for good food, immgrant looking for homely food. Three in one.Yay !
Umm…so, theme is immigrant’s life and travel. What do you think? What do you like the most in this blog? I guess I have been doing this here anyway, just need to be more focus?
However, the headache is, what domain name I want ? I think and think and think, but still can’t think of a good name. My friends, may I borrow some of your brain cells and creativity.
- shirls.com – taken.
- msshirls.com – too chessy. Ed said, it sounds like a lingerie company !
- xuefen.com – taken.
- sihai.com – taken
- shirlschong.com – how’s this? Out of this list, I guess this is the most logical one?
- 2worlds3homes.com – umm…what do you think? I do live in 2 different worlds (east & west) constantly, and I do have 3 homes. But what if Ed and I move to another country, which is highly possible ! 🙂
- shirleychong.com – taken.
- whinywifey. com – heehee…this is only for fun. I like this because I am whiny. But it does not reflect my blog identity. It is more like a desperate housewife blog! So, it is NO.
Does anyone have any suggestion? Could you help me think of a cool, simple, easy to remember domain name? Please feel free to leave many comments and suggestions for me !
Last but not least, I think most of you who read my blog are bilingual readers anyway, right? So, I am thinking probably I should just write in Chinese intead of both languages. What do you think?
Try “.info” or “.name”
I heard of ‘.info’, but never heard of ‘.name’. Will take a look at that.
Michael, I noticed you have a few blogs. How do u manage them all?
我喜歡 xuefen.com
這個名字讓我看到你 :)
我有沒有告訴你
我幾年前已經放棄用Jasmine
有一天 突然覺得我已經不是Jasmine
改用自己的原名 Yein
英國的華人 每個人叫我 阿瑩 :)
我其实也很喜欢xuefen.com 这个名字,可惜已经被人买了。是个台湾制冷公司。
yeah, 你有向我提过。我觉得阿莹,这个名字很美。我的,sheang feong,太难叫了。所以, 为了方便洋人朋友,一直以来用shirley,也习惯了。不过,还是很怀念我家人叫我Ah Fun (客家音) ! 🙂
那就叫 ahfun.com 啊,也很特別
我不要方便洋人,我要他們知道integrated or cross cultural 是雙方面的 對方也要學習讀我的大名 哈哈
講起客家話,要不要看客家話偶像劇?最近上youtube看了一點. 我一天可以跳很多集來看,因為有些劇情有點誇張和濫情,不過也蠻搞笑,最可愛的是- 聽見很親切的客家話
這是拍攝花絮 :)
OMG !!! 客家偶像剧,太棒了!!不过,我是大埔客家,他们说的跟我的不太一样,有些听不懂。不过,还是很喜欢!好亲切!
嘻嘻!我怎么之前没想到呀!可惜,我已买了新domain了 !不是 ahfun.com, 而是, good old boring的, shirlschong.com。最近都在忙整理它。
嘻嘻。ahfun.com 有点像客家搞笑部落!可是,我没有偶像的look, 不然一定超人气!哈哈!
Your new blog still remains on Word Press but just with a different and self-owned domain name?
Not exactly but kind of. Right about the self-owned domain name, not really remain on wordpress, but I still use wordpress platform. If this makes sense to you?
I used to have absolutely no knowledge on website & internet, but after two years of leisurely lifestyle, hence the time to learn more about internet. heehee…now I find it quite fun and am quite interested on this amazing internet phenomena. 🙂
That is so very hard to manage. Each blog has their admin interface….
yeah, it must be. I have been quite busy lately to try to work out all sort of technical problems too !
Being someone has no background in website design & website building, this is driving me crazy ! 😉
