Q&A With Turtlemama

When you 'leave' Xanga will you still read everyone that you read now?

HELL YES!! OMG you people are my sanity I'd never abandon you!   I'll keep my xanga name-turtlemama-so that I can comment and I might just post something here every once in a while so that they don't delete my account, but I don't think they delete accounts here do they? (I've come across some that haven't been updated since 2000!)  Also, I might add a few xanga blogs, either to my SIRs or to my FAVORITES 'blog' folder. 

I still want to read your entries! But, I'm afraid I'll forget your website, or you or something! How can I make sure I don't forget?

Well, that's easy.  got to http://www.turtlemama.com/blog and scroll down to the very bottom.  Look on the lefthand side of the screen and you'll see a little white rectangle with a button below it that reads; "Notify Me!" Put your email address in the rectangle and mash that little button...VIOLA! You'll get an email that looks EXACTLY like the one in the entry below! All that is contained in the email is what was posted below. And no, I won't sell your email or spam you or any of that.  I don't know how to sell mailing lists and if I knew who bought those things I'd do unghastly things to them....so....you get my point, right?

What about comments? I have something to tell you!

You can still comment.  Go to the VERY bottom of the day's entry and you'll see something that looks EXACTLY like this;

 Posted by turtlemama at 02:20 PM | Comments (1) | TrackBack (0)

All you have to do is click on comments and then you can leave comments!  It does ask for your name, email, and URL...all you have to enter is a name and it can be anything, it can be your Xanga name (that's how I know everyone anyway), your real name (I probably won't recognize most real names...screen names work best for me, but it's up to you.) Or, you can make up a name like Sammy Smiddleshticks or whatever.  You don't have to leave your email or URL (website) if you don't want to.  Just a name is fine. And, your comments of course!

So when are you going to leave, and how is this going to work exactly?

Well, I'm slowly weaning myself now.  These are my last entries.  I'll make sure that the last 5 entries on my xanga page, are full of information.  And, of course, a BIG HUGE LINK to turtlemama.com.

I know that change can screw everyone up and most people don't want to deal with it.  Which is understandable.  I just need to get into my own blog that I can mess around with and have more control over.  It's like outgrowing a pair of socks...you gotta get new ones or your toes get cold. (Yeah, I'm running on 4 hours of sleep, how could you tell?)  So, that's why I'm taking everything to turtlemama.com.  I do have to pay for the domain of turtlemama.com and I have to pay for the IP addy and all that junk.  I just don't want to pay for 2 blogs and the free xanga one, well it just isn't worth it to me.  I hope you all understand and I hope that you'll at least sign up for the notify list and maybe just give it a try for a few weeks. 

Everyone here, all my readers, subscribers, commentors, EVERYONE has been great.  I have formed many bonds with many people here.  I am not leaving, do not think of me as dead or gone.  I am still here...just over thataway..no, no yonderways...YEAH! there I am!

If you have more questions then leave them as a comment here and I'll edit this post to include those questions.  I want to help all my readers as much as possible.

Thanks for everything and I'll still be all around Xanga, don't worry!

New Entry! See how painless this is? :-) Enjoy!

Ok, I'm better now!

We have power again, that my friends is a BEAUTIFUL thing...we've been without power for about 3.5 hrs....TERRIBLE, I tell ya!  But we've been restored.  It's like BT said "You know nothing can grow without power...it's all sleeping right now."  But now the TV is awake and growing (he didn't say that but when he made the comment that's what I thought of).

Anyway, I changed the layout at turtlemama.com  Well, the blog anyway.  Enjoy it, if you want to.  I'm sorry that some of you won't follow me...But, such is life right?

I did get the notification working on the site, so if you want to be notified when I update, just add your email address.  I'll email right after I post the entry and you'll get a quick email saying something like "It's updated!" and then a link.  It's simple, painless, and free! wheeeeeeee!

Well I'm off to go enjoy my coffee....I've had very little sleep since 5am...and then it was with a snoring husband, a snoring 2 yr old and a 5 yr old who tried to bury his head in my back.  They're scared of the dark..so they slept with us. Heh.


Tuesday, July 22, 2003

I hate Xanga and will soon be taking my business elsewhere...to my own site.  I typed up a fucking entry TWICE, not just once, but gawddamn TWICE...I needed to add a fucking link and someone, somewhere has gone and fucked up YET AGAIN and when I hit 'back' to get back to my entry (the 'Add Link' link took me to xanga.com/private...ingenious guys, really fucking great.)  My entry was gone.  SO......I'm not sure anyone would follow me when I left, but honestly after wasting a GAWD DAMN HOUR of my evening trying to type up an entry and it failing TWICE.  I've had it.  Xanga is REALLY cool and it's a GREAT idea but dimwits are running it....this isn't the first, second, third...time I've had stupid shit like the 'Add Link' or 'Add Image' links not work...and I've had it.  I know it has to be a lot of work to run a site this big, but seriously folks......get your shit together.

Yeah, I COULD type everything out in WORD but when I try to copy and paste it into xTools, the format gets fucked....so, that takes MORE of my time to figure out.  I've never cared for the 'Frontpage' format of xTools but I tried to get over it.  Now, though, I'm going to move over to Turtlemama.com this has just gotten really fucking stupid and I can't deal.

I'm not leaving right now, but I won't be posting here as much as I used to (read; not every day..anymore)  I hope that most of you will follow me, I enjoy your feedback and it reminds me to go read your blogs and catch up with you all!   I will get the subscribe function back on my site ASAP...but I'm about to totally re-create it, so I'll stick around Xanga until my premium is up then I'm out of here.

Sorry, to write such a bitchy post.  My first one er two were pretty lighthearted and fun and informative for the home school group...I think I'll go write AGAIN, only over at turtlemama.com....I KNOW that works, because I make it work (or not work, we do take it down for a few minutes on occasion, RARE occasions).

Thank You.
