The Reason

The decision to switch from xanga to blogspot had been playing on my mind for quite some time now. Indeed, many a times in the past the temptation to move had been there, but I stayed on due to sentimental reasons (guess I'm not that heartless after all)

However, I made up my mind this time around because I felt that it's time to open up my doors to more people. Yes, this is the very same reason that I gave in my old blog, so shoot me. Other than that, a few more excuses why I felt that I needed to move on:

1. Hints from a few colleagues that they wanted to leave feedback on my blog, but didn't want to go through the hassle of signing up for an account.

2. I wanted a new layout (it seems that xanga only lets you change your layout if you're a premium user. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know)

3. All of a sudden, the pop-up comment box looks strangely inviting.

4. Short posts don't look half as good on xanga as they would on blogspot.

So there you are. A few (in)valid reasons justifying my move. Honestly, there's another reason which I didn't put up there as I was a bit ashamed to do so. But since this is a new blog, what the heck.

Actually, I was kind of finding it a bit hard to write put up new posts at my old blog site. A case of dried up ideas, or simply lack of inspiration? Whatever it was, I was starting to find it a bit taxing to blog there.

Therefore I hope with this new site, I'll find back the joy that is blogging.

You're one of the few male bloggers I have at Xanga. So what do you expect me to do, now that you're a blogspotter?????

No prize there for guessing ;)

Meriah juga ye bila dah pindah rumah ni? Sekarang dah ada dua bungalow dah! Mana nak duduk, mana nak sewa pun tak tahu.

Jamil said...

salfiza: I've never been good at making friends. That's why.

pycnogenol: Amboi amobi. Harga saham sedang jatuh merudum, tapi dia masih lagi boleh membeli dua bungalow mewah. Memang kaya la ni ;)

Salaam..
I think Blogspot is way better than Xanga too.. but I'm just too lazy to move to Blogspot. And yeah, registering before commenting is the #1 downside on Xanga.
