Why do blogs need titles? |

Blogs tend to have titles, but I don't see the point. Matthew
Yglesias writes Moneybox, Kit writes
Transneptune, and Scott Alexander
writes Slate Star Codex, but
I just think of these blogs by the author (and I had to look up some
of the names just now). For single topic blogs (Giving Gladly) and group blogs
(Marginal Revolution) I
do see the advantage, but when it's just "whatever [person] writes"
what's the use of a name?
(Not coincidentally, I've never had a name for my writing here. Though I do remember strongly resisting the word "blog" when I started, for reasons I no longer recall.)
