Name that blog!
Peter the Great's great local blog needs a new name. The current title: "Carbondale, Illinois - Business and SIU Commentary" could possibly be the worst title ever -- especially considering the redundant sub-title: "Comments on business development and Southern Illinois University at Carbondale by a local" Except for the "by a local" part, it's the same.
Peter's blog is challenging, informative and inspirational by turns . . . frequently amusing and very rarely flat-out wrong.
Can you think of a good name for Peter's blog? So far, I have only come up with "Great Delyte's Ghost" or "The Great Gildersblog." The first works better with the subtitle: "Comments on business development and Southern Illinois University at Carbondale by a local"
The best title will earn some lucky bloggee a ticket worth $15 (face value. Higher if scalped before the event) to the annual Chamber of Commerce meeting at the Civic Center, Nov. 14, featuring lunch by Heartland Catering and the "State of the City" speech by Mayor Brad Cole, when he announces his intention to run for re-election . . . or not.
So Name that blog! in a comment below.
CONTEST NOTES & RULES: Peter has not cleared this post, and may not want to rename his blog, or choose a winner. If so, the offer still stands: A ticket for a title.
The new title should work with the current subtitle.
If only one title is submitted, it will win by default.
Deadline Nov. 10.

I like the Delyte Morris one.
I fancy calling Peter's Blog "The Peter Principle."
Just seems appropriate to me, given the definition offered on Wikipedia and Peter's propensity for pointing out the ineptness of various and sundry employees in a "hierarchical organization."
A perfect fit.
I wish you guys had been around when I signed up for blogger, these are far better names than I could ever have dreamed up.
Peter it's easy rename a blog using blogger.com. But since you announced today that you're retiring your blog on Friday, the contest makes little sense.
I'm declaring Shawn the Beer Philosopher the winner for "The Peter Principle". He gets a ticket to the Chamber of Commerce luncheon (which I will PDF to him via email).
Hi Dave,
From my music background I had come up with "Gregorian Rant" but it seemed pointless to send it once I read that Peter was retiring the blog. I liked hearing what he had to say about the "dark side" of C'dale and SIU in his blog. I can get the positive views just about anywhere.

Thanks Dave ... hopefully I can make it. My wife mentioned the Chamber luncheon the other day as something she would be interested in as well, so we'll try to be there, if work allows.
Sorry to hear about Peter's blog being discontinued ... hadn't read that yet.
You're not next, are you?
