Xanga

  • Looking ahead to the future …

    Well, this is my last post here, although I’ll still be able to read and comment on your posts.
    I hope to see you all in my new home on WordPress!

    It will be sad to leave Xanga but it’s not like it used to be.
    I’ll always have fond memories of ‘my first blog’, and all the dear friends I met here,
    the stories we shared, the prayers we prayed for one another
    and the encouragement I received over the years.

    Well, it’s not over, and I’m looking forward to continuing on in my new blog home with you all,
    sharing and encouraging one another again!

    Hope to see you there soon!!
    Love and Blessings,
    - Deborah <><

  • Account Question

    Well, I see that it’s still pretty quiet around the new and ‘not-so-improved’ Xanga …
    it doesn’t look like too many on my subscription list have found their way here yet. :(

    I’ve clicked on ‘Following’ on my dashboard, and it took me to the subscription list.
    I went through and clicked on each site, and most of the time it took me directly to the main Xanga page
    that says this ………….

    We’ve saved your blog archives for you!

    Read below for details on how to retrieve your data.

    How to retrieve your data

    We’ve saved an archive of all of your blog posts!

    There are two ways to retrieve your data.

    You can either:

    1. Sign into Xanga and download the archive (for free, of course) from the link at the top of your dashboard, or
    2. Upgrade to Xanga 2.0 and we will upgrade your blog to the new servers using the data in the backup.

    ……………………………………………………

    Then the other sites I went to … they were there, up and running.

    I’m still confused, and still learning to navigate my way around here … I sure hope you’re all doing better than I am!!
    I must admit, I do miss our ‘old’ home … it’s here that I have to say, not all change is good!

    This is basically a stripped down version of the WordPress format …
    I do have another site over on the full version of WordPress with the same name ‘threads of faith’.
    I got that one started in order to get ahead of this ‘move’, but you’ll see I haven’t done much there either,
    although I have noticed there are quite a few features missing from this format compared to that one.
    So what are you thoughts on this ‘new’ Xanga so far?

    Now, can anyone help?!
    I’m wondering how we can see our account information, as we were able to do on the old Xanga site.
    You could see when, and how, you paid for Premium as well as the renewal date.
    I’m actually amazed I’ve still been able to sign on here … I didn’t think I had that much time left on my Premium account.
    I wonder how they let you know this if there isn’t any account information page? Email?
    I do need to find out though, so I can pay when the time for my upgrade comes …

    I do not want this to disappear when my time is up!

    And, I haven’t a clue as to where I can find that information!
    I would so appreciate any help on this!

    I also have another prayer request … this time for my dear husband …
    we found out he may have a heart arrhythmia.
    His heart will skip a beat here and there, and he gets very tired easily.
    He’s had this in the past, and they found out it was caused by his adrenal glands and thyroid.
    Once they got those two things back in good working order, he was feeling better than he ever had.
    I’m praying for a repeat performance and that he will feel better than normal again, soon!
    We are going to the doctor this coming Friday morning, and we would so appreciate your prayers!

    Thank you all so much, and I’ll keep you posted!
    I hope you all have a blessed Thursday!

    I LOVE THIS MAN!!

  • Xanga-time is almost up ….

    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,
    ~ Deborah <><

quote and verse

Faith expects from God what is beyond all expectation.
- Andrew Murray -

God often comes to us,
not in dramatic and the spectacular,
but in quiet, unexpected ways ...
In a still, small voice,
a gentle whisper,
God makes known His love.

In quietness and trust
is your strength.
Isaiah 30:15

Pleasure, possessions, power, and privilege are ultimately worthless in comparison to the indescribable
joy of knowing GOD!!

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5,6

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with mine eye.
Psalm 32:8
