I think the anagram-of-your-name thing works better if you’re called Scott Alexander than if you’re called Viliam Bur.
If I’m interpreting the Perseus output correctly, “librum” is OK as genitive plural of “liber” whose main meaning is “book”—though the usual form would be “librorum”. A blog title that means “the way of books” sounds workable.
I suspect most of your readers will be more familiar with another meaning for “vim”. Someone whose interests are just the right combination of geeky and literary might like “Vim Burial” as a title, but I’m thinking that if that were you you’d have said so already.
There are some other interesting words containing in your name’s letters—brumal, Malibu, lumbar, album—but none of them seems to lead to a coherent phrase.

But adding or dropping letters is probably harder to get away with when you have a shorter name.

It also helps if you’re willing to drop an ‘n’.
It also helps if you’re willing to use a pseudonym.
Indeed. As he puts it:
