Tagline: Lil’ help?
You may have noticed that the subtitle/tagline here on APoF has undergone a few changes ranging from “This is where a tagline would be if I were able to think of one” to the one about being “Ostentatiously Faithful Latter-day Saint Women.” Fact is, I can’t think of one because this site isn’t just about me. It isn’t even just about the seven ‘Roxcettes’ writing it. It’s the writers, the readers, the commentors–it’s all of us together. And so, I pose the question to our growing community-at-large: how would you sum us up? What would you put in the tagline?

I kind of liked the “Ostentatiously faithful LDS women” line.

Well, I’m in favor of a rotating tagline. You know, “ostentatiously faithful” on one page load, and “A Celebration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through the Eyes of its Women” on another pageload (that’s a good tagline, btw) and probably some Eliza R Snow hymn lines (given your URL) on another pageload, and so on. I hear that really cool web sites do things that way.
Replace the [ with

Argh - let’s try again.
Replace the [ with < in the following if you want to give it a try . . .
[SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”JavaScript”]
qArray=new Array(
“Osentatiously Faithful LDS Women”,
“A Celebration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through the Eyes of its Women”,
“As Sisters in Zion”,
“Naiah and the Roxcettes”,
“and a Partridge in a Pear Tree”,
“etc - don’t forget to put a comma after every entry EXCEPT the last one”);
rq=Math.floor(qArray.length*Math.random());
rq1=qArray[rq];
document.write(rq1);
[/SCRIPT]

You could even use an evolutionary approach:
“Ostentatiously [random adjective] Latter-day Saint [random plural noun]”
Change it every day. I think that would produce all kinds of interesting tag lines. Then after a year, have people vote on their favorite. Random taglines, survival of the fittest. I’m sure that would produce something much more interesting and fitting than any kind of so-called “intelligent design” approach of simply writing your own.

You can do a mad-libs style thing and have each of the permabloggers fill in a word.
[adjective][noun] that [verb] the [noun] and it’s [plural noun] [verb] their [plural noun].
I’ll comb through my word wealth textbook for other ideas.

Hmm, I had included a code snippet, but it looks like it’s not displaying. Hopefully you got it, though.

Well if you’re going to have a rotating tagline your going to need a whole lot of ideas then. Sounds like too much work but I’ll give it a quick brain storm…
Bright Minds Faithful Hearts
Following Our Faith, Expressing Our Thoughts
Faithful LDS Women Engaging Mormon Minds
Navigating Life WIth a Testimony of Christ
Sharing Thoughts of Faith and Foundations
Inviting Discussion of the Faith Shared Among Us.
Hmm this is harder than I thought to think of a tagline.
Tag your it!

T&S has already done the mad libs tagline with more style than I could muster (for all that Kaimi gave me his code for it), but maybe a rotating tagline is the way to go. I like your suggestions Jen. Anybody else want to add some more???

Jen, you are amazing to be able to think up so many possible taglines!
I like the rotating tagline idea, even if it only rotates among a few. I loved the “ostentatiously faithful” line, but recognized that not everyone would catch the ironic humor. The present one is very good, but I think rotating might be an intriguing option.
