Dear Friends,
If you are joining us for the first time, you might want to read my post from yesterday regarding the unavailability of nina knows best {dot} com.
Since my ultimate goal is to take this blog as far as the world will allow (which is difficult to do without a dot com). The executive decision has been made to change the name of this blog (a tear). Plus, I do not want myself or my blog to be associated with such a site(s).
So here is the difficult (and even more madding) part… Since I think it is important to have my first name in the title; I pulled up Google and started conducting searches and this is what I came up with…
Basically, Nina Knows (insert anything) pulls up the {adult site}… with the exception of Nina Knows Nothing which pulls up THIS blog. Seriously?
Nina B is a Rapper
Nina Marie the dot com is available (a plus) but it also pulls up {exotic nina marie dot com} BUT another plus into using my first + middle is that Nina Garcia comes up in the results (love)! 
The not-so-good part is that it doesn’t describe the blog at all which I also think is very important in order for this blog to be successful.
Nina’s Blog surprisingly, there are quite a few of these and it’s so unoriginal and bor-ing!!
Okay so that’s it for now. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. I’m struggling with this one! I was so happy with the name and my new design… But I’m not going to fall into the “1 step forward – 2 steps back” mindset (like I did for most of the day yesterday!). We are going to go over this speed bump with confidence (and caution) and come out better when it’s all said and done!
I want to thank each and every one of you for becoming my friends, for being loyal readers and for continuing to support not only my blog but for supporting me too. I still don’t know how I got so lucky to have landed a group of BF’s like you!
With love,
Nina

Oh, man……I like what you already have title – wise that is. I’m loving your new header up there as well.
Well, Have a great day and I’ll send you a comment if I think I can come up w/ something for ya.

It doesn’t matter what you decide on, it’ll be great! And I have to say that I laughed out loud when I saw the picture of you above!! You’re facial expression is priceless haha! Have a great weekend!
I’m sure you’ll come up with something perfect. I have no ideas
NinaKnowsBest.com expires Jan 09. You could just hope and pray that whoever runs her website will forget to renew and you could snatch it from them..longshot, I know…but sometimes it does happen!
Love the new look. Happy weekend!
That is such a bummer! I love your blog name, and I wish I had an awesome name to suggest. If I think of one, I’ll let you know
nina knows nothing made me laugh out loud.
