  • Unsubscribing

    I started unsubscribing from emails that I don't read over a week ago and they are still coming in. Amazing. I wasted so much time reviewing and deleting these emails. I became subscribed to them because I purchased something from the site or I thought they would be valuable to be on their list.

    I feel like my inbox is less heavy now. I'm also enjoying the extra time I have.

  • I'm back?

    I just found the option on the iPhone app to be able to log into each of my 4 wordpress accounts including xanga. Gunna give this xanga thing another shot and devote my other blog to running and advice to runners.

    [edit] my template or xangas wordpress template sucks for viewing on iPhone. Anyone else notice this?

  • Xanga

    I'm bummed Xanga will cease on July 15th. You can read about it here. They are going to a yearly paid membership and a new platform (if they can raise $60k). I am with the other folks who have been talking about moving to wordpress which is free. I better start working on my new site.

    I'll miss xanga. Lots of features like daily emails and trackers.

    Let me know what your new site's name is and I'll see how I can "subscribe" to it.

    I have a gluten free wordpress blog but I won't be posting my randomness there. Maybe it's time I downloaded wordpress to my own hosted server and build out my web development portfolio.

    My new blog: http://sfmotorunchick.wordpress.com which I will start using on July 1st.
