I first started blogging on a site called xanga and my user name was Prometheus.  I was there from the beginning, that is when xanga began, and there were only a handful of us.  Later, when we were overrun by teenagers and the Chinese (I’m not kidding) we used to call ourselves “xangarelics.”  But at the beginning it was pure blogging.  Ordinary people with interesting and complex thoughts writing not about one thing, as is the conventional advice if you want to attract “customers,” but we wrote about everything.  It was what blogging should be.

 

That was the past.  Xanga is a ghost town now.  The site moved, and tried to reinvent itself, but now even old readers can’t find it.  It’s a ghost town, but it still exists.

 

Suddenly, I started getting emails that people are commenting on some of these old posts!

 

I’m popular again.

The first comment from that person.  A trick, I think.  I’m not falling for it.

 

Howdy would you mind letting me know which webhost you're utilizing?

I've loaded your blog in 3 completely different web browsers

and I must say this blog loads a lot faster

then most. Can you suggest a good web hosting provider

at a reasonable price? Thanks, I appreciate it!
