To Switch or Not to Switch

I'm thinking about moving my blog. It seems such a pain, because I would want to move all these old posts. But school is out, so I might have the time. . . Why would I move my blog, you ask? Well, check out this site my dear friend and sister-in-law shared with me: http://www.blurb.com/create/book/blogbook I don't scrapbook anymore. I used to scrapbook and thus preserve our family memories. My kids love to look at these scrapbooks. But it's been three years since I really scrapbooked, and this last year, I've been doing the same sort of thing with my blog. Wouldn't it be neat to have a 'book' of my blog, chronicling what is going on in our family's life? Admittedly, my scrapbooks didn't contain the reflections and thoughts I sometimes share, nor the days I felt like complaining. . .but I think it might still be a neat family memory, to make a book of these pictures and stories and even Mom's thoughts and struggles and weaknesses. The thing is, a xanga blog is not on the list of those that can be turned into a book. So, I'm in the process of moving to http://learninghowmuchidontknow.blogspot.com/ I'm actually having fun reading through some old posts as I transfer them! There are some things I like better about xanga. I like the footprints feature so I can see who is reading my blog (especially because of those of you who don't leave comments! ha!). I like that it can be locked so not just anyone can see it--although blogger has that feature as well, I think. And I like that I have xanga figured out, and I don't look forward to figuring out blogger. But I guess that's life--it's all about growing and learning new things, right?!
