Ending Xanga for now...

 Hello, Xangasphere.

So, here's the deal: for the past 3 years, I've been double-posting my blog entries to my website (mydogischelsea.com) and my Xanga site. This made sense when I first made the move, because the vast majority of my readers were in the Xanga community.

That has changed. Now, most people read my site at mydogischelsea.com, accessing it via Facebook and Twitter and various RSS feed readers—or simply going to the site directly. Many of my longtime Xanga readers have either disappeared altogether, or come from somewhere other than their Xanga subscription module.

Double-posting my entries has always been a pain in the arse. But, more important: I didn't realize this, since I use Ad Block on Firefox, but some of the animated ads that Xanga runs on my site are disgusting, obnoxious or downright inappropriate. Though I am not ready to delete my account altogether (I'd still like to comment on your sites, and not all of you allow outside commenters), ads like these make me want to scrap the account. But for now, I won't.

All of this is to say: if you mainly read my blog from this address (xanga.com/mydogischelsea), you will no longer be able to. Instead, please bookmark mydogischelsea.com. You can also find me on Twitter: twitter.com/mydogsichelsea. Or, add my site to your RSS feed or a feed reader.

I'll still be here. Just not actually here.

See you in the blogosphere,
mydogischelsea

PS: No, I did not win the stand mixer. Sad, isn't it?
