National Blog Posting Month

Petition to Change Name to GloBloPoMo

I'm taking part in NaBlo for the second, but hey! I'm not American. I'm a South African living in Germany and there are many other global bloggers also participating.

Let's consider a name change for next year. How about GloBloPoMo (my favourite) or IntBloPoMo (coined by (Un)Relaxeddad at http://relaxedparents.com).

Which do you prefer?

I hadn't thought about it but you are definitely right! I'm in Canada.

GloBloPoMo sounds good to me. Or maybe even simple BloPoMo. Both would be more accurate than NaBloPoMo.

BloPoMo. Or, just BloMo. (The shorter these dumb names are, the better!) ;-)

Couldn't agree more - GloBloPoMo's got a good ring to it.

Ooooh I like the sound of GloBloPoMo because this sounds easier to remember than NaBloPoMo...I have so far always had to think of what it means in full and then work backwards to the abbreviation :=( GloBloPoMo rolls off the tongue much easier too.

I'm one of the non-USA bloggers too, living in Amsterdam in The Netherlands, so hello to all the other non-USA bloggers taking part in this this month.

I love the idea of GloBloPoMo....very nice ring to it and it flows well. I think it's more inclusive, too, so make sure Eden gets wind of this idea!

i was hoping for something with a more pan-galactic feel to it in case we have some extra-terrestrials blogging with us.

Totally dig the idea, and would be cool with any new group name.

Great idea! I think GloBloetc is good, and I also like the idea others have mentioned of just GloBloMo or BloMo. Whew these semi-acronyms are tiring!

GloBoPoMo looks good to me

Though I just take Na to mean whatever nation I happen to be in!

My husband pointed this out to me at the beginning of the month. That it's National Blogging Month but I'm not an American.

I definitely agree on the name change. I vote for GloBloPoMo. It keeps the oh sound theme.
