Thinking from the point of view of an URL/Blog/Page Title. I wish to say A list of things or My list of things.
I am not sure whether Dingeliste is accurate and concise at the same time. Another word that my limited German vocabulary tells me is MeinerDingeList
Does this sound natural to a german speaker? Is the capitalisation proper?
EDIT: I have posted the Camel Case usage, because I want to register and share the URL. Its easier to remember Camel Casing, hence the reason.
Thank you.
As @marstato already mentioned, your suggestions do not sound natural and like @RegDwight mentioned camel case is not proper capitalization in German (unless we write source code).
And I don't think that an unspecific "Liste meiner Dinge" is a good choice for a title or headline.
If you mean a list with the top 10 reasons for a specific topic then you could build a specific headline like "Die 10 (besten) Gründe für/weshalb/warum [your topic]". This is not concise but this is how it is mostly done to have an interesting title.
EDIT: Now we know it should be a more or less short term used for only one subdomain name regardless of any topic. I don't think that we have a good short term in German that implies your "list of things". So I advice just a lowercase version of Sammelsurium = "sammelsurium.yourdomain.com" (mingle-mangle, similar to "Kram" or "Mischmasch"), because it sounds better than "Dinge", "Sachen" or "Liste" or any combinations of these, but it's unfortunately still unspecific and not the same as your english term.
Dingeliste does not sound really natural. Meiner Dinge List would mean something like "the smartness of my things" which misses the point (and is rather oldspoken).
I would go with Liste meiner Dinge or, if the fact that your content is a list is not important with Meine Dinge.
While being an old question, I would like to add the following:
"Liste meiner Dinge" is pointing a German more to physical things you own, not you or people ususually do.
Concerned an URL, camel casing is absolutely not wrong IMHO, because it makes reading easier. But it makes writing error-prone, so make sure to have the same url with only lower casing :-)
I would have gone with "Verrückte Verhaltensweisen", "Verrückte Dinge, die wir tun" or something similar.
