A Year On Xanga – 2010
In general, the year 2010 was really great. I got two promotions and raises in one year at work, and I had fun at work (whoever thought that could ever happen?!). I’ve been in a happier place than I ever have been in my life. And, I found Xanga.
Not literally. I’ve been on Xanga for 7 years. But not until this year did I really discover this sense of community, and feel a part of it. I’ve made a lot of new friends here this year (and continue to), and met some people who have become really great, close friends, who have changed my life and helped me realize things about myself and within myself.
This year on Xanga, I’ve had the honor of becoming a Top Blogger. I’ve had the pleasure of beating Dan in TBs before TheXangaTeam made it easier to be there (it was in the middle of the night, but it happened!). I’ve had so much fun getting to you so many of you this year, and I hope I can get to know more of you.
Thank you so much to everyone who has offered their support and advice to me, it really means a lot. Thank you for helping me on my journey to loving myself and who I am.
I really don’t know what else I can say. I love you guys so much, and I am so happy that you are a part of my life. I hope that I can meet you guys sometime <3
So here’s to a wonderful 2011!!

I wish you the best in 2011 =]
Congratulations on all of your promotions and such :] Happy New Year!
happy new year to you
Haha Oh yeah, I do remember that time you beat him. He was also pushing for you to get on top right?
@Roadlesstaken - Actually, that time I didn’t beat him, lol! Dan and I talked about it, and he thought I should have, but there was a glitch that kept his there longer than it should have been. I don’t remember what it was, but there was one time at like 1 in the morning that I was number 1 =]
happy new year
I’m happy to hear that 2010 was good to you, and that Xanga has been here for you. Isn’t it such an amazing thing?
I don’t think we could ever find such a community-feeling in any other blogging website.
Hope you have a more fabulous 2011!
Good for you!
And a happy new 2011!!
This year on Xanga I went to my first Xanga meet up. That was cool.
Here’s to getting to meet you! <3
I’ve been on Xanga for seven years too!
(In January, it’ll be eight. :3)
I’m so glad that you love us. :3
YAAAY!!! PS Look at my blog!! heehee
i have never met anyone from Xanga except my boyfriend who happened to FIND me through one of my links. the others that I have known FROM xanga were already a friend of mine before i started the site.
i am glad that you have discovered so much from Xanga. I think i have done the same myself. i returned to Xanga after 5 years of signing up and bloomed my way to the center of community! it is a wonderful place. happy new year!
All these years on Xanga and you weren’t a top blogger? I guess they didn’t establish that top blogs thing for a while, though.
It’s been good getting to know you this year – happy 2011.
Cheers Doll!
@ItIsAllGravy - I think they did, but I just hadn’t made the connections yet to become one. Dan actually helped me a lot with becoming a top blogger, and I kind of branched out through his friends.
@crazy2love - I know they didn’t have the top blogs thing for a long time. Like back in the day it was just Xanga itself on the front page with the featured content picked by Xanga. Not sure how long it’s been that top blogs were determined by footprints/comments, though.
Glad you have had a great year and I hope 2011 is just as good for you
Hugs, just cause I can. And best wishes in the new year to you too!
Two promotions in one year?! Dang awesome — good work!
happy new year !!
Happy new year!!
Wishing you all the best for 2011! Great blog. Xanga is an amazing place and I have been also using it for a couple of years. Kudos to you!
