  • Blogs of Interest (Outside of Xanga)

    Over the past few weeks, there were a lot of posts related to Xanga's popularity, its survival, it's irrelevance etc.  Some points were valid, some were a bit overly dramatic, some completely off-base.  But regardless, the numbers are what they are and cannot be argued.  Xanga is not the place a lot of Bloggers are turning to anymore.  It has its following which is great, but more bloggers turn to Blogger or Wordpress or even their own custom designed blog to write and share etc. 



    I am one of those who has decided to spend more of my time away from Xanga and more towards blogging on my Blogger site over the past few days.  I have also discovered a bunch of very interesting blog sites away from Xanga and I feel I need to share these to show that there is a life outside of Xanga.  Here a are a few to check out:






    Musings of an Evil Genuis

    Another Flight Attendant Writing

    Holden it Together

    The First Wonder of the World

    Mama's Losin It

    These are just a few interesting and entertaining blogs that I follow away from Xanga.  It is not a numbers game with any of them.  You don't find arguements and posts from readers who complain about Wordpress or Blogger or who troll around and pick fights with the blogger.  It is simply blogging. If you like to blog and like to read blogs of interest...check them out.

    I am getting back to my travel roots and devoting more time to my work and passion and can be followed here

    This does not mean I am shutting down my site here on Xanga...but it does mean I will be posting much less on here and mainly will come back to check messages and read some other posts etc.

    I really don't know what to say. It's a shame to see you go, even if it's not a permanent thing. I understand the frustrations of many, but when all those with something to say leave, is it any wonder only the fools, trolls, and wannabe writers are left? Regardless, I wish you luck my friend, and I hope you find what you're looking for.

    I will definitely be checking out your new blog.  I don't plan on leaving Xanga anytime soon, but I can understand and definitely see why some would.  Good Luck with whatever comes your way =)

    I'm going to miss your posts here so will probably follow you over to another site as well. You have been a great spirit here in Xanga and it's too bad Xanga is losing another fine person, and writer. I mean that sincerely. What  my friend Tom said above, goes double for me.  I always look forward to your posts and you helped make this a better place. Sadly though, many people are leaving and I just have a sneaky suspicion I will too if I get pushed too far. I've almost had enough of the juvenile, backstabbing BS. 

     Take care Bryan and all the best with your new site (s)  You don't need luck though, your ability to write and your talent will carry you through for ages,  I'm sure.  Thanks for being a friend here and all of the great work you've contributed.

    Hope we keep in touch,
    Steve T
