I came across “another blog”:http://textualthoughts.com/ with the name Textual Thoughts. Coincidentally the domain textualthoughts.com was also set up in January 2006, approximately the same time that I set up my blog here.

For the record my first post here is dated 2nd January and textualthoughts.com domain was created on 16 Jan 2006.

As explained by the blogger in the “about page”:http://textualthoughts.com/about/, the name textualthoughts.com was generated by the “Blog Name Generator”:http://weblogs.about.com/library/blblognamegenerator.htm. He had the foresight to create the textualthoughts.com domain.

I decided on the name for this blog because I was using *Textpattern* to publish my *thoughts* on line. Hence I added both terms together to create *Textual Thoughts*. It may not make much sense to others but it sounded appealing to me and I decided to use it here, even though this blog is hosted on my personal domain *dannytam.com*.
