'''Brad Dowdy:''' So Myke, if that last topic wasn't thrilling enough, let's talk about blogging. What do you think?

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, see, I could do this, right? Like I can talk about the intricacies of blogging for hours for as long as you can talk about the viscosity of gelling.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Actually, this is a topic that I really enjoy talking about. And Paul, who writes at the Poor Penman blog, who I met out in LA, he had a sweet Fallout hoodie on, so I knew he was a good dude right then. And, you know, he sent me an email a few weeks ago just wanting to talk, you know, about blogging and stuff because he's been doing it for a little while now.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Can I start off here, Brad, by giving some advice to Lovely Paul? Yeah. What do you think my advice is going to be?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Get off the WordPress domain.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Get off the WordPress domain. You have a, you know, I don't know if your domain is available, but you need a domain. You need a domain that you can just say without dots in it other than .com or .co, right? You should be having, if it's available, the poorpenman.com. That's what you should have. No .wordpress, no .squarespace, no .tumblr. Get a domain name.
