I don’t know about you all, but we’re having a lot of winter around here this year!  I love winter, and the snow, but the cold is just too cold!  Frankly, I’m looking forward to the arrival of spring, but from the way things are going, it may be awhile!
Anyway, during these long winter day, I find myself still working my way around here and getting familiar with this format, but sadly, my Premium subscription will expire this Friday.  After that, all I’ll be able to do is sign in, read, and comment on your posts here, which I will be doing to stay in touch with those who are still active here … after Friday, I will no longer be able to post, so right now I want to share a tip on how to add a link to your site name where it shows up in the comments that you leave for others. I had noticed that my site name was NOT being linked like other names I’d seen in the comment sections, so after some searching around on here, I stumbled upon this:

http://donkey-guy-10.xanga.com/2013/09/07/useful-xanga-tip-from-adamswomanback/#comments

Passing on some important information: Name Link not Working?

If you notice that names in comments are no longer click-able, and the avatars lead to a ‘not found’ page, do this:

Top right, of your screen where your cute lil’ avatar is, click it and chose Edit Profile.  Scroll through and look for the space next to Website. Add in your xanga address (eg. http://myname.xanga.com) and this will make it so that your name becomes a clickable link.  It still does not work with your avatar image however.

Now, I followed these instructions, and this did not work for me because I have underscores in my user name.
When I changed the underscores to dashes, it started working!

Try this! It worked for me!
HUGS!!!

Well, I hope this helps anyone who doesn’t have a ‘click-able’ link attached to your site name!!
I’ll be sharing here again, very soon, in order to let you all know where to find me posting after Friday,
and I do hope you’ll join me!  I find it’s pretty quiet over here, with just a few of you showing up in my ‘reader’,
and I so hope to hear from some of you before I move!

Wow, it’s been so beautiful here! We had such a hot spell, and the cooler weather has been such a relief!
I also heard that our month of August (one of the hottest of the year) may very well be even cooler
than what it’s been lately … unbelievable, but I’ll take it!  It is very dry here though, and I’m looking
forward to the rain that’s expected here in the next 24-48 hours!
Hope you’re all enjoying some nice weather, too!

Yes, I am back, but it doesn’t look like for very long!
None of us are sure as to what things will be like here after July 31st,
but I do want you all to know where you can find me, if you would still like to follow along.

Here are the links:

First, I have a Blogger site that I opened back when I first heard that Xanga was to close on July 15th:
http://threadsoffaith2.blogspot.com/

Then once I heard that they were wanting to re-launch Xanga over on WordPress, I opened an account there:
http://threadsoffaith2.wordpress.com/

I’ve found a few of of my friends from here who are now on both Blogger and WordPress,
and am following you there, too! 

As for the rest of my subscribers, if you would, please leave a comment on where I can find you, too!
I do hope to stay in touch with you all!
I do think this change can be a good thing!
It’s getting me back in the blogging mode again … I have missed it!

We don’t have long, so I hope y’all will see this soon, as it seems pretty quiet over here!

I will miss this place … it’s an old familiar ‘friend’ whom I grew to ‘love’ … a place where I felt safe sharing my life.
I could always count on my close friends here for prayer and encouragement!
I’ll keep looking for more of you in the next couple of days, and also send this out as a message,
in hopes of connecting again!

Blessings,
