Hey everyone! I need some input on a title for a writing website that I'm constructing. I originally was going to just use my name (Joshua S. Sandefur), but I went back to an older blog that I used to have.

The name of that blog was "A Whisper From The King", which is where I posted a lot of poetry and prose. I am now thinking about "Whispers From The King" instead. The idea for this title came from I Kings 19:11-12 where God spoke to Elijah “Then He said, ‘Go out, and stand on the mountain before the LORD.’ And behold the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a delicate whispering voice.”

Any input is appreciated.

I should have probably been a bit more clarifying. I wanted to know which name sounded better:

A Whisper From The King (As in what the King is using to speak, i.e. rather than shouting)
Whispers From The King (As in the numerical amount being more than one post)

Well, it seems to be unanimous. :shock: <------ I always laugh at that smilie! :rofl: "Whispers From The King" seems to be the solid choice. Now, to begin the process of putting it together. :)

I think it looks nice and I really like your header!

Are you going to add an About Me somewhere? It seems incomplete somehow without it. It doesn't need to be more than a paragraph, but they seem to help show the person behind the blog a bit. Just an idea if you hadn't already planned on it. :D

It looks great!

I just have a question: is the scroll supposed to...uh, scroll when I click on the arrows? Nothing seems to be happening. Although it could be my internet. *pokes internet*
