Starting anew
I’ve been a part of the Xanga blogging community for a long time now, since 8/23/2003, to be exact. I’ve posted to that blog with a variety of frequencies, but no other season of my life have I blogged more than when I first got my Xanga blog. I have to admit, I was really obsessed with getting the most amount of “hits” on my website. I still have the counter below. And I sort of like to tinker with the themes that were on there. To be honest, I have not changed my theme at all since I’ve gotten my Xanga. I found the simplicity something I really enjoyed. But alas, Xanga is old. I haven’t totally come away from Xanga beacuse of the fact that it’s “old” and I’ve used it for so long. Nor did I choose to migrate away from it because the community on Xanga seems so different. I suppose the actual reason for why I decided to move away from Xanga was because WordPress was just much more…flexible, and powerful. I guess it meets the my blogging needs for this next season of my life.
I really don’t think that the content of what I’ve blogged about will totally change from my Xanga to this blog. I do have years of memories on my Xanga though, and I’m sure to try to keep those as long as I can! I’m not sure how long Xanga will let me keep it online, but I’ll see how to actually download an archive one day to remember my past. I can admit that since I’ve now entered into a different season of my life, I’ll definitely be blogging with a different perspective. Even if I didn’t say that, it wouldn’t totally matter anyway 
.
For now, I’m still working on the design of this blog. I’ve sort of gotten into Grid Design, so I’ll be experimenting with how to change up this theme to make it suitable. So far, I’m stuck with this theme, for it’s the only one that’s I could easily find based on Grid Design. I’m also stuck with three-columns. I’m not totally sure if I love it at this point, but we’ll see how I can spice it up to make it suitable. Let’s just say that three columns are growing on me so far!
