When I chose the name of this blog, I didn’t think much about it. I was always starting new online projects at that time in my life, and didn’t expect to still be writing this blog 6 years later. Writing Dirrrty Pop has never stopped being enjoyable for me. If it ever does, then I’ll give up, but unless I change considerably as a person, I can’t see that happening. Therefore, I think it is important for the blog to have a name which I am proud of, and that I feel represents its content. There’s nothing dirrrty about me or this blog – I love Same Difference, after all, and hate the Pussycat Dolls.
I thought for a long time about what to rename my blog. I consulted some friends and regular readers, and in the end decided the best name would be another one taken from the fantastic song, Pop by *N Sync, which inspired the title Dirrrty Pop. See it like S Club 7 renaming themselves S Club when the 7 in their name became inappropriate, but in this case, nothing is going to change except for the name. And that new name is going to be…
This Must Be… POP!
and the new blog address is going to be http://tmbpop.blogspot.com
I will make the move in a few days, when this message should have got to most of my readers, and I hope to be able to keep this blog address as well, so I can leave a note on it to redirect people. But just in case, if you have friends who you know read this blog, please let them know about the change of name and address. Also, please change any links you might have to this blog on your own website. I really appreciate everybody who visits the site, and who links to me. It’s great to be part of the pop blogging community, and I definitely want that to continue.
