Hi everyone! For over four years now, I was a blogger by the same name on Xanga. If you haven’t heard already, Xanga was suffering financial issues and was going to shut down last month—that is, until it held a fundraiser to start up Xanga 2.0. Unfortunately, being able to blog on the new Xanga means paying a fee of $48 a year, and that’s simply not possible for an unemployed high school student like me.
So as I was transferring all of my old Xanga posts over to WordPress, I had the opportunity to look over them again—and boy, are some of them cringeworthy. I was really tempted to just straight-up delete them didn’t quite have the heart, so if you’d like to read over some hilariously embarrassing posts from the dark days that I call “my middle school years”, you may. Although seriously, they’re embarrassing.
Actually, never mind, guys. Please don’t read my old posts.
Anyway, I like the interface of WordPress so far! I could never really give a reason as to why I chose to start blogging on Xanga, but it was the first blogging community that I came across so I just rolled with it even when I knew there were better platforms out there.
I’m looking forward to writing more and discovering other neat things about WP!

I was on friendster, it closed down too. I didn’t manage to export my posts though. That was kinda upsetting.
Oh no! That must have been awful. I know I would be so upset if I lost all of my posts—I’m lucky that Xanga had the option to export.
I hope you’re enjoying WordPress as much as I am!
Welcome to WordPress. I hope you find your time here rewarding. Enjoy yourself and keep writing.
[ Laughs ] Too late. I have already been reading your posts!
Awww, but that’s so embarrassing D:
I hope you’ve found them entertaining, at least!
welcome to WordPress, fellow displaced Xangan 🙂
Thanks! It’s really too bad that we all had to relocate our blogs from Xanga, but I’m liking wordpress so far!
