I was over at BlogBib, going through their resources and stumbled upon a link discussing how bloggers can obtain an ISSN for their weblog.
ISSN stands for - International Standard Serial Number and is the standardized international code which allows the identification of any serial publication independently of its country of publication, of its language or alphabet, of its frequency, medium, etc.
The process is pretty simple: For online serials, provide an appropriate URL or e-mail actual issues or mock-ups which will accompany the application form to issn@loc.gov. Here is the application form (in PDF).
If nothing else, you can impress women by bringing them to the local library and the asking the librarian to look up your ISSN. They'll bare your children for sure.
