I vote for: “Beyond the Headlines: Positive Daily Commentary on Southern Gospel”

Well, I don’t really have any alternatives. As I(and now several others)have stated though, I saw no reason for you to change the subtitle…the original is just fine!

And I, like Ben, will keep reading no matter what you call it.:-)

I really don’t like the use of the word “positive”. Mainly because then I’ll feel bad if I have to comment something that isn’t so “positive”. haha.

The word “positive” tends to lad to a reactionary tone although it might not be intent in this case.
Looking at it from another prospective, it is very close to guerrila marketing as some might think it is feeding off other factors in any given setting.
Since I am judging this situation, I have to offer something in its place.
How about
“www.southerngospelblog.com”
“Southern Gospel Fresher Look”
The word “blog” doesn’t have to be in the subtitle as I would hope every one would know its a blog plus the spiders and crawlers of the internet are alot smarter than all of us.

Ya know Daniel sometimes your original first impression is the best. However, the name really means nothing to me, I will read it regardless of the name over the door.

Honestly, I think the original is best!

Well, folks, as far as I’m concerned, the jury is still out. I’m not dead-set on this. How’s this for an alternate?

“Beyond the Headlines: Positive Daily Commentary on Southern Gospel”

“Beyond the Headlines: Constructive Commentary on Southern Gospel”

To all of you who don’t like the current subtitle, feel free to suggest alternatives.

Kyle and Aaron make excellent points. Many blog commenters equate any idea that is remotely constructive (and that covers a wide range of topics) with negativity, an unfortunate side effect to the Polka Dots and Moonbeams-flavored Kool-Aid that is consumed by large numbers of devoted SG performers and fans each year.

I certainly would affirm that yours is a nice, safe place to visit. Just don’t get discouraged if someone takes you to task over any little thing that, to them, might warrant a de-classification of your blog as “positive.”

I agree with Inquirer.
