When I first decided to start my blog, over three years ago, the name "Thing 1 and Thing 2" was a no-brainer. It came to me immediately and always felt like the perfect choice. I idolize Dr. Seuss and I have my own little Thing 1 and Thing 2 who are constantly destroying my house. (It also doesn't hurt that I get over 5000 hits every year on Dr. Seuss's birthday!)
But... as tons of articles began to appear on 'author platform" and "branding," I realized I had a problem. I couldn't be Thing 1 ad Thing 2 here and Three Ninja Pigs on Facebook and scubacor on Twitter!
So, it is time to get my act together.
Good-bye Thing 1 and Thing 2.

I LOVE it Corey! What a perfect blog title for you!!!
I can see you as a Picture Book Ninja. Love it!
Wow gorgeous blog redesign! I will miss Thing 1 and Thing 2 though. Always thought that was a super creative blog title.
LOVE the new title, Corey! But also love the old one.
I love the new title and the new look. It's perfect. :) I'm very excited about Three Ninja Pigs! It sounds like the kind of thing my kids would go nuts over.
Exciting, fresh start and a creative title too!

I LOVE the new title and the new look! And that picture of you, the ninja? Pure awesomeness. I loved the old look too, of course, but good for you for changing it up! Hi-ya!
adorable concept -- but no surprise coming from creative you :)
Good for you, for staking your own claim in the creative universe! Great name/look/attitude!
I love the new look of the blog, and your new website. They are kick-butt!
I will miss the Things, but the ninja more than makes up for it. Great idea and the right time for it. Best wishes on your launch!
Sweet! I love your new look! :o)
Beautiful site! Congratulations!
I've always been partial to ninjas :)
I LOVE it! The header is gorgeous and the title is just as clever, if not more so, than your Suess-y title. Congratulations on becoming more consolidated. I always love the feeling of being more organized.
Thanks so much, everybody!
The remake of the blog looks great!
YAY for you as the Picture Book Ninja!! I'll miss the Things, but I love the new look.
Hahahaha. I love it! That pig is frickin adorable.
Congrats on the new site!
