Marketing

Whether you're selling a million pixels on your homepage at $1 a pop, trading up from a paperclip to a house, or just flogging Britney's toenail clippings, it seems like any site on the Wide Wide World of Web needs a solid gimmick to bring on the Alexa love and SMH puff piece coverage.

So here's what I'm thinking.

In the Comments, leave your suggestion for Simon James Baker's second middle name. I'm personally leaning towards 'Obi-Wan', but may the best suggestion win. When it comes to Births, Deaths and Marriages paperwork time, the winner will get to see their suggested name occupying pride of place just behind 'James' on the coveted 'Other Names' space Field of Dreams (subject to Terms and Conditions - see below).

For you theological students, you might like to include an argument for the supreme method of baptism, and if your argument is convincing enough, you'll be calling the shots when it comes to baptism time. Infant? Believer's? Splash? Full immersion? Sacred Jordan River water? Formation waterskiing? Let the debate begin!
(Again, it should be said, fully subject to Terms and Conditions)

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Here's the deal - Pamela's still in the hospital and, as yet, has not seen this blog. This means that at this stage I have complete creative control, but there is probably the off-chance that Pamela may just possibly sabotage any attempt to include the rightful competition winner's entry on the Birth Certificate. Proceed at your own risk...

Dude, I'm so with you on the obi-wan thing.
And you definitely need to sprinkle some Jordan river holy water blessed by the pope on his head.

I can't decide between these three:
1. Simon James Thomyorke Baker
2. Simon James Butcher Baker (candlestick maker)
3. Simon James Bultmann Baker
