I would think you'd want a tag that does several things.

1) Communicate what the theme of the blog is about
2) Communicate what you are about
3) Make it memorable and really identifies and makes you stand out. So when they come back, see the tag, they remember what it's about.

Your blog is about personal development, plus fun stuff.

"Live Life Harmoniously" I think also lends an edge of Personal Development. By saying "Live Life", you're encouraging people to live life in a certain way, and thus that subtly tell them your content is going to be mainly about Personal Development, which is what your blog

At the same time, with that "Live life harmoniously" tagline, you're also telling them about yourself, that you're very much into harmony, and that what you're writing about will help them live more harmoniously. It adds a unique twist to personal development - instead of personal development to become a super-achiever who makes $1Million, or personal development to become super-spiritual, your brand of personal development is more about how to live your life in a way so that it flows very well and that you're in harmony with yourself, with life energy, with nature, with other people and with animals.

"Living in Harmony" sounds too much like it's only about you - like a personal blog about your own quest to live in harmony out in nature. Nothing wrong with that, except that's not what your blog is about - it's about how the reader can live their lives more harmoniously, quit smoking, etc. Having a "How-to" article wouldn't seem to fit the tagline "Living in Harmony".

But my purpose has something to do with flow too, flowing harmoniously. I could take something like "Creating Harmonious Flow"? Hmmm...

I probably wouldn't use both harmony and flow in the same tagline - since those two words kind of mean the same general thing to you. And "creating harmonious flow" would seem to be more complicated - harder to explain what it means and for someone to understand without reading your long explanations and would seem at the initial viewer to restrict your blog into a smaller subset of subjects then it'd really be.

I'll have a lot of how-tos, like how to stop smoking, how to overcome depression, how to communicate with your cat or how to stop heartburn... So maybe something like "How to live Harmoniously"?

Hmmm.. but I don't want to do as if I know it better and show others the way, that's definitely not the case. Plus maybe this is too restrictive, after all I don't know how long I'll write how-tos.

Yeah, that's why I didn't write the "how" in the tagline. Didn't feel that would fit you.

But I'd really like to keep the blog very practical, not so much about theoretical or philosophical questions, more about directly applicable concrete stuff.

You can write "how-to" articles without having a tagline that says "how-to". . Steve does it all the time, and his tagline doesn't say "How to".

The problem with these three taglines is that they talk more about the goal than about the content of the blog. But I'd like my readers to know immediately what this is about (content). Hmmm....

Hmmm, well your content is about living life harmoniously - giving very real pratical advice about how to do so on a wide variety of stuff, plus talking about stuff for fun.

Sorry I'm brainstorming as I write. Help!!!

We forgive you .

You know though, the tagline at this point isn't that important in my view for the success of your blog, not yet. You can let it come to you over time. You're not like Jim who is launching an adverstising campaign, thus his tagline is going to be part of his advertising campaign where he's spending money.

For now your tagline is going to only be on your blog and on this forum, and you can change it at will as you develop your blog's new direction. You can start out with some of these examples we've come up, plus any other suggestions you like that people will suggest and see what you feel fits you best. Steve himself changed taglines a number of times before setting on his current one well into having had his blog up.

So if I were you, I wouldn't worry too much about the tagline for now. I wouldn't think or analyze it too much. Instead, I'd ask myself what would be a great tagline, and just let inspiration hit you later when you're doing something else. That's what I did when I asked myself what would be a great tagline for you .
