Step 2: Blog Title

In this step you are required to enter blog title. This can be anything of your choice but one thing to keep in mind is that it shouldn't be too arbitrary or dull as to lure off a potential reader. A blog title should be short and preferably unique as well as loyal to the whole concept of your blog. (Click on the image to open and enlarge)
