So this is so long, adios, arrivederci, au revoir, auf wiedersehen to Xanga. I have a new blog -- it's pretty simple in its layout and look but I hope to have a bit more info on it in a bit after SoccerLowen helps me out. You'll find it at http://mylifewithmykids.wordpress.com/ . I went with wordpress because it's supposed to be much more elegant in its use of html -- like that really means anything to me.

But I've had enough with Xanga and their ads, especially when they are really offensive. So I went premium for a month ($4), ordered an archive, downloaded it today and now am announcing I'm leaving. Yes, I'm paranoid and that's why I waited. The $4 was worth my time to not clip and paste every post and comment. Now I have them all. I won't be uploading them to my wordpress blog -- that's more than I could ask of SoccerLowen but at least I have them since they serve as a bit of a diary of our lives.

Visit rehabilitated_feminist's Xanga Site!

Yep, I got all the comments on the posts too.

Cool. Commenting on two blogs has just been exhausting.

This is SoccerLowen--I'm too lazy to sign out and then sign in again after I comment.

I'm so happy you were able to save your comments. Sometimes they're just as good/funny/important as the post. Some of the funniest stuff on my blog has happened in my comment section.

Can you email me and tell me how you did this?
I have premium for a bit...should put it to use!

On the left hand side of your private blog (when you're signed it but nobody else can see it, I think), is something called "archive file". If you click on that, it'll say, you have no archives (I'm assuming you haven't done one) and then it'll tell you how to order an archive. It takes 24 hours (over the weekend may be longer but probably not) and the next day you go back to the same place and download the zip file.

I will miss you on Xanga! I'll have to visit you at your new "address".

I have started a wordpress blog too...but haven't announced the change yet. I'm still trying to learn my way around before I make the switch. I guess I'll see ya at Wordpress.
