Elliott Back has researched 33,810 blogs to see what he could discover about the manner in which people name their blogs. He has come to some interesting conclusions which can be found HERE.

Personally I have changed my blog name twice. I started out with Righteous Judgement and planned on focusing my attention on issues of Truth (right thinking) and Righteousness (right relationship). However, with time I opted for a more personal (frivolous) approach, but one that attempted to maintain a spiritual dimension. So, I changed the name to one that included some equivoque, Silver and Gold Have I None. This name was too long to fit in sidebars, and was not as descriptive has I had hoped. So, about three months ago when I obtained my own domain name and left behind the generic blogger template, I changed the name once again to its present Encyclopedia Kevinannica.

For years I kept binders in my office in which I inserted alphabetically anything that I thought I might need access to in the future (emails, technical instructions, directives, contact information, etc.). It was a compendium of information as variegated as the items that Carrot Top pulls from his trunk. However, the details found in those binders, my Encyclopedia Kevinannica, was a treasure house when an occasion arose that I needed two or three year old information. When I left Borders Books back in 2001 I left behind twenty-six volumes of Encyclopedia Kevinannica.

I know what you are thinking — you wonder why I did not just use vertical files. Well, I am one of those people that believe that words should be found between covers on a shelf, not crammed in a drawer.

So, the new Encyclopedia Kevinannica blog is a compendium of information. Information that I find interesting. Information about God. Information about my family. Information about our culture. Information about books. Information ….

The information is not just raw data, it comes with a perspective attached — my perspective. It is not scientia, but hopefully sapientia. And, I appreciate those of you who swing by here from time to time to read my thoughts, and sometimes even comment on them.

Now, back to Back. Among his many other findings, Elliott Back lists the following 100 most frequently used words in the 33,810 blogs surveyed. He posted this information a little over two years ago, so I am sure that there would be some changes given the dynamic nature of blogging. Nevertheless, I am intrigued
