Arriving Xanga 2.0
Well, we’ve made it to Xanga 2.0. At least, the few dozen of us who remain. Truth be told, I fled to WordPress during the dark days, copying over my entire blog and building a new site that, frankly, looks a lot better than this one.
You can find it at christao.net if you are interested, but I’d encourage you to stay here and help us rebuild the vanished tribe of Xangans. Besides, everything will be cross-posted so I promise you won’t miss anything.
Unfortunately, my custom URL I had purchased through Xanga – www.christao408.com – doesn’t seem to be working anymore. A problem to be fixed at some point, I’m sure.

Yeah I’m having some issues with tweaking the theme. My old theme ported over which is fine but I was trying to just use the plain default and it wont let me. I’m guessing these are things that will sort out in time. Having some theme functionality would be nice. Glad to see you here though! Im guessing my name got into them in time!
I, for one, really appreciate your loyalty to Xanga. It will take a little getting used to, but it looks hopeful!

stone to stone the building xanga will be rebuilt by us.
the most interesting thing is I can’t log-in with the WP account so I will be staying here….
Well, I’m here, but….It is not accepting my password on wordpress, and they changed it, and guess what…That’s not being accepted either, so I’m in lingo right now…
Will be messaging John on face book to let him know…Until I can log in on wordpress, I’m not able to set my sight up, period…..Just wanted you to know….
Glad to see you around! I tried to comment on WP but unless you have an account you just can’t. Hope you are feeling better and the infection is gone!
Oh, I thought I had my WP account set up so anyone can comment. Sorry!
Yes, visited the DR yesterday and am about 99.5% better. She assigned two more days of antibiotics just to make sure but I feel much better. Thanks!
I plan to keep my other WP account too. But I don’t know what the protocol is. Do I comment here first or do I comment on your WP first? Or do I do both? Oh… life is so complicated.
My thought is that, while I like the layout on my new WP site better than the new Xanga site, I’d prefer to maintain the Xanga site as my primary blogging site. Still a core group of folks here. So, with that in mind, I’d encourage you to comment here first – or comment here exclusively.
Yesterday, I couldn’t make comments, today I can….The dust is beginning to settle, so to speak….
For some reason, I couldn’t get on this sight, until I changed my password….And I even had to open an account on Word Press, and now I’m afraid to close it, because I’ll lose everything, but I’m going to try anyway, so….
I might have to go through all this yet again! Lord, I sure hope not, lol!!
I think the pre-existing community here makes it worth the stay. Def want to tweak the theme though. I think the WP issue here is that you have to make sure that in the address bar it is saying yoursitename.xanga.com/wp-login and not just xanga.com/wp-login otherwise it sees you as trying to log into the Xanga owner section and not your own… does that make sense?
oh– and clicking on anyones picture above is just going to a blank page, it used to work that it would bring me to the commenter’s site but now its a broken link… methinks this was a bigger task than Xanga imagined
Hello and welcome to the adventure that will be 2.0! I’m so glad to see you here. Thank you. I’m happy to be part of the cross-over crowd.
