You are looking at just a fraction of the many amazing faces that will one day adorn Bossy’s Reader Collage & Blogroll, where one day equals the cold day in Hades when Bossy and her talented design team launch I Am Bossy’s new blog design.
And speaking of Bossy’s talented design team, they are building the collage so you will be able to see individual reader names as you move your curser across each photo, and you’ll be able to link to reader blogs, if they have one. If you’d like to learn more about participating in Project Collage & Blogroll, read this.
Bossy doesn’t want to give too much away about her new blog design, but here’s a sneak peek of a few other elements:
Bossy wants to talk about this last element. See the Keeping it real thing? That’s called a tagline—or maybe it’s called a byline or a catch phrase or a catch-a-liney-tag-by—but the point is: it’s supposed to help the first time reader understand what the blog is all about.
According to Bossy’s friend Andy, there should be total synergy between the blog name, the tagline, and the blog’s concept. And in the case of I Am Bossy? Not so much.
Which is what today’s Ten-Word Challenge is all about: can you write a new tagline for Bossy in ten words or less?
If Bossy uses your tagline in her new blog design, Bossy will send you her favorite kitchen utensil. Hint: it’s long and sharp, but it’s no good when you need to stab yourself because you can’t think of a tagline.

September 9, 2008 at 11:30 amLord, but we’re an attractive bunch. Who’s the hottie in the bottom right corner in the green plaid shirt? I’d link that.
Sorry, what were we talking about?
Oh, tag-by-lines:
“Located at the intersection of OMG and WTF”
“Pinch of sass, hint of snark, and bottle of gin”
“Where wit is at it’s wits end”
“One nerve left, and you’re tap dancing on it”

deb on the rocks says

TanyaK says
September 9, 2008 at 12:24 pmI like the original.
If you change it it, it should have words like zingy in it. You always remind me of zingy.
“Mostly silly with a modicum of zinginess”
God, I’ve already HAD my coffe and that’s the best I can do.
Rattling the Kettle says
September 9, 2008 at 12:25 pmNo tagline ideas, but, damn, how hairy are my forearms? (B-2 in the collage) I could host a family of spotted owls in there.
