Blog roll and name change? Give me your opinion.

First of all, I just wanted to mention that I have finally added a blog roll! Thank you to all of you that have had me on yours for so long, and my apologies that I am only now reciprocating. If you'd like to be added to my blog roll, shoot me a message and let me know. It's a work in progress, and I certainly have more to add.

The next big change that is coming to my blog is a name change. I don't feel like my blog is a weight loss blog anymore. It has definitely moved into the realm of running/tri blogs. I no longer feel like my name reflects my content. I realize name changes can be confusing, but I feel like it's called for.

So, just to let the cat out of the bag, the name I'm considering is "Deb Tris". Yeah, not that original maybe, but I like it, and I feel like it's a good transition from "Deb Shrinks". My question for you is, do you see it pronounced as rhyming with "buys" or rhyming with "kiss"?

  1. When I first read it, it rhymed with "kiss", but now I see what you're trying to do with it to rhyme with "buys". I like it!

    I'd love to be on your blog roll, you're on mine! :)

  2. I love your blog! So inspirational! I would say "buys" aka "Tries" which has a nice ring to it as it has a double meaning...

  4. I read it as Deb Trys, since I figured that what you would be going for.

  7. It must depends on who reads it..those of us that are doing tri's see right away what you are saying.

    I think it is great to have your blog evolve with your interests and goals.

  9. In my mind it rhymes with kiss, is that what you are seeking?

    I like Deb Shrinks but if a new name you seek how about Deb Victorious... Has a nice ring to it, no?

  10. Oh I was also wondering when your going to add a "My 2011 Races" to the right hand side of your blog like you had for 2010.

    Nosey future runners want to know ;)

  11. Thanks for adding me!!!

    Honestly not in love with "Deb Tris" but it makes sense, I know what you are referring to and it isn't a complete change from your existing name (so you won't confuse people!).

    If you like it- go for it!!
