I have a quick question for y'all - and I would greatly appreciate your input.


What color would you describe me as and why?

See the big ad to the right?
Notice the confusing navigation?
I recognize that from somewhere....
hm....
maybe...
MySpace?

I first got this Xanga forever-and-ago. Back then it was purely a weblog - I loved it.
There were times where I'd post three to five times a day!
Things were going great.

Until Xanga started adding more features.
Their rich text editor that is a pain to use.
Then photos.
Movies.
Pulse.
Skins.

Now Xanga is simply trying to become MySpace with a different format that is extremely confusing unless you use all of the facets.

But what if I don't want to use all of them?
What if I don't want a skin?
What if I just want a blog?

In that case, Xanga isn't for you.
Hence, my lack of posting.

Want to keep in touch with me?
Get a Facebook.

Still want a blog?
Hang in there, I'm mapping out a re-design for brianpurkiss.net - I'm gonna have a personal blog in there.

I wish I could still use Xanga.
I got it so long ago it hurts to let it go.
But, I must.
There are much better ways to use all of the features Xanga has. (Self hosting, Wordpress.org, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc)
So, I'm going to stick with those.

Farewell Xanga.
I miss what you once were.
