My Blogging Decision
I have been dragging my feet terribly with the whole xanga doomsday thing. At first I was just going to let my blog die out with xanga and just not blog anymore. Won was starting to research new blog sites for me and in the meantime, xanga delayed their deadline twice, giving me 2 extra chances to save my blog. After archiving and reading over my old entries and comments from such kind friends I’ve made on here, I’ve convinced Won to pay for me so I can continue blogging on here. Even if my xanga friends have moved on for themselves, I hope you are still visiting me here
A few changes:
Won will be making guest blogs (heavily heavily heavily edited by meeeee hahaha) on here too.
In the past, whenever people would leave comments to empathize or praise or share their own experience with me, I always read them but that was it. I never responded to anyone! I don’t know why.. I guess because sometimes there really wasn’t a reason to other than to say, “thanks!” And I just wanted people to say whatever they wanted freely. But I think there is value to responding and starting a conversation. So from now on, when I have something to say back to someone, I will definitely be more interactive <3
Comments (12)
Yeah, I think it’s been tough for a lot of us to think of what we wanted to do next. I’m glad you’ve come to a decision.
I usually don’t respond to a comment unless it’s a direct question. I’m just too lazy.
I am glad you are making a conscious decision to me more interactive. I believe communication builds community. Glad you have you here.
oh good good
Wait, you have to pay to keep your xanga?!! O_o
@ViEt408GurLeE - To keep blogging. Yes. To keep a xanga account to just read and comment, no. Starting end of August
@JChristenstein - I think before, I took the community for granted and thought I was just writing for myself therefore who cares what people had to say. Now that the threat of losing this community is here, I’ve come to love the friendship and interactions with other xangans
@coolmonkey - Lol but you post really controversial topics, there is always room for back and forth arguments on your blog
@GreekPhysique - I’m happy to stay!!
Hope a lot of people decide to! Especially now that you can donate ANY amount to stay. I’m a little nervous because I don’t know how they match my 1 year pledge to this account? I have the receipt but no indication that it’s for THIS particular blog. I’ve had 2 in my 10 years on here and who knows what email account is signed up with what account anymore -__-
good for you youngvan, with a supporter to give you more time on Xanga, when you can and looking at a different side to interact is most excellent. I myself am very busy with work, life and other online things so I see your original view that this Xanga experience would die, but you make indirect friends and even if you still connect with one person, it just made the world a little bit smaller. And I like that concept, in today’s mass media, meeting another person whom you may never meet or see in real life, technology has made this world get smaller each day. So I hope life grows to what you search for, enjoy life, take care, God Bless you. Aloha for now, as I have been away too long and have enjoyed the friends here also.
Aloha for now.
@youngvan - Me, too. So, I am responding and interacting with you.
I’ll be here for a little while while I still have premium active. When all is done, I “should” be able to see your site on my other WP account…key word being “should”.
