Taglines

We've already discussed blog names in some depth (search for "branding" labels). The next element to consider is the tagline, the explanatory blurb, secondary to the title (journalists would refer to this as the subdeck on the masthead). Some blogs skip this entirely, like Romenesko. Others – such as my Road Remedies or And I Am Not Lying – rely on images instead. More on that later. In the meantime, some samples. Yes! Samples!!! You missed them. I could tell.

AllAboutGeorge: One man’s life, it’s enough to make you URL

Bad Advice: The job requirements of an advice professional are practically nil. I should know. I am one.

Fight Against the Plutocrats: A punk music blog

Italian Woman at the Table: Let's dish about travel, food and true crime

Mighty Girl: Famous among dozens

Tenth-Muse.com: Fabulous since 1973, blogging since 2003, drinking since noon

And a very long example, that doesn't much rock my world. But, you know, it probably made someone happy...
