James needs your advice...for real
I'm putting together the elements of a Web page that will be home to my doodling, a place where you'll be able to connect to my news reporting which is published originally in the Miami Herald and on MiamiHerald.com, this blog, and other projects I'm working on.
But I'm having trouble settling on a name for the site. Mrs. B says I should keep it simple, like my name dot come. But JamesBurnett.com is taken. I've seen a few variations of it with dot net and dot this and dot that, etc., but nothing I like so far. So at this point I'll take clever over simple.
Thoughts?
If I end up using your clever recommendation, there'll be a reward in it. Not sure what, but I'll think of something.
Oh, and speaking of news reporting, here's a piece I wrote with a colleague in Sunday's paper on DVD & CD piracy.

I am too pretty, Jay. But I'm not sure if that's the site name that will keep folks taking me seriously. As for the latter, it might be too confining. Don't wanna box myself in to my whole site being about the theme of this blog.

How about "THe Burnett Report" then - simple, efficient, but versatile too in that you can go off in whatever direction your reporting is taking you at that time as well. Just a thought.

A place where all of your thoughts are collected into one site...
Thanks for writing... I enjoy your blog very much.

Goodness someone has been busy!
Think I'd use 'Burnett' somewhere in your url as that's how many of us know you, even though we may address you as James.
Happy name choosing/inventing.

You could always go with:
TheREALJamesBurnett.com

How about "Mr. B's"
mr.B.com

I still like "Urban Etiquette"

Burnettiquette 2: Electric Boogaloo?
By Jansky T, at 10:55 AM
I think because you are amalgamating several aspects of your work into 1 site that TheCompleteBurnett.com works.
I always thought melding Burnett and Etiquette together into Burnettiquette.com was funny too but Kevin above me has the same idea.
Both BurnettOnMiami.com and BurnettInMiami.com are available as well (actually everything I've listed is available... I checked).

I notice you are really James H. Burnett III. My husband is a 4th and he uses his number in his email address. So, how about JamesBurnettIII; JamesBurnett3; JamesHBurnettIII; JamesHBurnett3. Or variations with initials: JBurnettIII; JHBurnettIII; etc.
Good luck!

Why not go with what you know — love the play on etiquette you've used with your name, a la burnetiquette.com or burnettiquette.com.
I don't think that would necessarily limit your focus, since "etiquette" could be used loosely to simply imply a mode of doing something (even if that "something" is a manner of speaking, thinking, etc.).
Other ideas:
burnettsblog.com
burnettsworld.com
allthingsjames.com
allthingsburnett.com
jamesthoughts.com
burnettsblock.com
joshingwithjames.com
thejamesgame.com
burnettorbust.com
burnettinmiami.com
lostinflorida.com
burnettinflorida.com
theburnettpost.com
miamisvice.com
I could go on... (and probably would, if I didn't have work to do :).

Good suggestions, all! I've narrowed it down to two. One of the "finalists" was posted by at least one of you guys. I will reveal it on Friday.
By James Burnett, at 10:51 PM
too bad, I like the Essential James Burnett
By The CEO, at 11:14 PM
Well, I'm a day late.
By Pamela, at 2:58 AM
I thought TheEssentialJamesBurnet was good too.
By Bronchitkat, at 4:47 AM
Monty, you and BK have made me reconsider. I think I'm liking TheEssentialJamesBurnett.com too. OK, so there are now two finalists from this list.
