I heart blogspot, but its more open. Anyone and everyone can comment. How’s Princess Zoe and baby Kayden doing? Hope all is well, have a Happy Holiday
i wanna move too but what about all your previous posts!??!
I use blogspot and it’s love not everyone can comment you can moderate through them or you can use intense debate or Disqus (which I use) You can also make your blog private if you would like or make it open. There is also wordpress.
oh I also forgot to mention with both wordpress and blogger you can import all old posts.
I use wordpress. Don’t have any other comments lol.
Yes, please Commented would be so much easier.
I would still be a fan of your blog post. =) Your blogs are so funny, cute and entertaining and you have one adorable family!
I’m already there! But yes, it is more open and free for all, so I tend to keep very personal posts private. htp://team-moonberry.blogspot.com
add mehhhhh <3
we would follow you!! I like xanga bc my subscription list is small… My google reader however is ginormous and overwhelming so sometimes i neglect it, but ur one of my fave blogs so u definitely wouldn’t get lost in the sea of blogspots I read.
@moonberry - hey!!!!!!!!!!! how’syour photog coming along? i love the photo of the back of your cat on ur page. i just saved your blog on my page. how are you doing?
i would def follow you over to blogspot. love your zoe stories! was wondering why the move, is it easier to blog there? i’ve been thinking about blogging more again but wasn’t sure where to do it.
i love it! but will miss you on xanga.
@manhattan_momma@momaroo - I totally feel you on the google reader – I have so many in there also! I had to start paring some of them down.
I like blogspot, but the free-for-all aspect is very “eh” to me.
It would be easier for me to get you on the reader since everyone moved out of xanga already. I’ve been over on wordpress for 3 years. We tested blogspot too, but there were some html stuff I didn’t get. I’m pretty sure you can make your blog private…I think I’ve seen some that are by invitation only. The only tough thing is that commenters don’t get updates when someone comments until there is a ‘subscribe to comments’ option on your posts.
And so funny, but non-xanga members can comment on xanga as “anonymous” and then type in their info but for some reason no one knows this.
aww. don’t go. i do miss that xanga isn’t as popular anymore, but that’s exactly why the few who xanga should still stick with it- why follow the bandwagon? i use wordpress for another blog and i like it ok but its still not as user friendly to me as xanga. blogpost is popular too but there’s something i dont like about the interface. i dunno….
don’t leave!
oh yes, please, blogspot! i’ve been a loyal blogger for years (way before Google bought them). i’m always a little confused by xanga – what the heck are eProps and Minis? – and most importantly, there’s no search function so it’s hard to look up a great petitemandoo post that i remember.
I tried WordPress, but I think the WordPress hosted on your own server is better than the free WordPress. In the end I moved back to Blogger/Blogspot. Disqus is a great comment moderation tool – also seconding that mention.
I will most likely stalk you, regardless of where you blog.
(said in creepy man voice)
=) hi, i’ve been a stalker on your page for a while now – great insights for a new (and once again) moms! i’d stalk you again all over again if you do plan on moving over to blogspot!
thanks for sharing such great stories!
@eciila - i look foward to it (in my cool robotic voice)
@minglenyc - just don’t want to pay for extra storage for photos.
@Soapie - i’m not leaving cuz i don’t like xanga. i’m leaving cause i don’t want to pay for it. hahaha
sounds stalkerish but i’d follow ur blog wherever u went…i liked that i could see ur photos better…i don’t ever have time to post anything as much even though i have one there too…
@moonberry - can you move your entries on xanga over to blogspot? have you done this?
You can use your credits to pay for premium for photo storage. I bet you have tons b/c you blog so often and people comment all the time no? Just go here to redeem them: https://register.xanga.com/premium/
Just choose “xanga credits” as your payment option.
@eugy - i was hoping you’d write. i have over 23,000
i made a blogspot account a while ago and never really got around to updating it …. but i do like it better
so is the move for sure for sure? i would follow you anywhere my blog lover! =) i’m also thinking of moving and have slowly been setting up a wordpress site. i love xanga though and i’m afraid of starting over again. i’ll miss the xanga community~ i think that’s what stops me from leaving. but if you leave then maybe i’ll be inspired enough to really make the jump. we can make our own community out there in the blog world. =)
@skippeeahn - i’m just so used to xanga. i feel like it’s my first day in a new classroom or something. xanga’s just so user friendly though. why’d you choose wordpress over blogspot?
@PetiteMandoo - buddy! you think xanga is user friendly?! i started on wordpress so i could have more control over the layout, etc. i haven’t taken the plunge yet bc like you~ i feel like i’d be moving to a new school or something. i love xanga and i’m soo used to it after so many years! i chose wordpress bc a lot of the bloggers i follow and like have wordpress blogs. so did you decide yet if you’re going to finalize your big move? =P
@skippeeahn - man….i’m so back and forth about it. it’s liek i like the way the layout looks better but i’m just SOOOO used to xanga. Ya know? I’m so indecisive.
@PetiteMandoo - I’m indecisive too! That’s why I haven’t moved yet even though I have a new home. =P Btw~ I realized while commenting on some random blogs another reason why people didn’t like Blogspot as much…the commenting! Some formats aren’t clear on how to comment…like they’ll make you choose a specific profile (google, openid, etc.) and sometimes doesn’t give you the option to just comment as your name/email address.
@skippeeahn - so are you just going to stay with xanga?
