What's In a Name?

I have no idea why, but I could not find my own blog when I searched for it using the exact web address, nor would any of my images come up in image searches as they once did.  Perhaps I neglected the blog a little too much?  Maybe I needed to log-in once a month?  When I searched for my blog, a local music group with the same name came up.  Hmm . . .    To prevent or clear any confusion my title may have caused, hoping it'll fix the search issue, I changed my title and address to my registered business name, "Twill & Tow".

I came up with and registered the name several months ago to label my beeswax candles and anything else I might want to sell.  Twill is a weave structure, and Tow is the shorter fiber left over from prepping flax for spinning.  With my first blog name I tried too hard to be "cool", my second name came from my time actually living on the Stillwater River and my harp playing and spinning "string".

It was simple to change my blog name--I wish I had known that when I switched "Lemon Floss" to "Stillwater Strings" . . . at the time, I spent hours copying and pasting when all I needed was the feature to change the name or import (in my defense, I think those features came later in updates).
