Ok, so I've just been to WordPress to create a blog, and I can't figure out how to work anything...
how to find anybody... how to customize...
extremely confusing.... and I am very frustrated...
I don't want to lose contact with people I talked with for the better part of 9 years now.

If you are currently paid at Xanga, write to the help desk to request your 6 months' free extension!
There are new habits to take but we can do it.

There is a good "Help and Support" section on WordPress that will help you learn how to navigate there.
And there are A LOT of former Xangans there! 
HUGS!!!
I had such a hard time with wordpress, when I opened it up last year....I opened, got it up and running, and then the next day when I went to it, I was told I didn't have an account!!
So, no, I won't be on there.....And I'm not going to take the 6 month free extension...
I've listed all the other sights I'm on now, and will continue to stay on them....
I'll also be leaving an email, that you and others will be able to keep in contact that way.....
Don't be discouraged. Even ugly dumb old men uses it., and you are intelligent, attractive, and bound to succeed.
Hi Frank, Your wonderful way with words of affirmation just make my day.

Maybe you can find some encouraging info at that link. They say you can get that 6 months extension with an active membership ... I don't have an active membership so I can't.
If they do what they say in their latest blog post, and continue the upgrade around here, then maybe I'll resubscribe but we'll have to wait and see. I did open a Blogger site to try, which is easy to work with. I also have a WordPress site and finally figured it out. There is a great 'help and support' section there, too. I figure if I can do it, most anyone else can, too!
That's where I found more of my Xanga friends, so I'm going to start posting more again soon. I did get all my Xanga archives uploaded onto it (couldn't do that on Blogger) ... nice having my 'journal' follow me! Would love to stay in touch if you do leave here. I'll be checking back in soon, but I had left my 'forwarding' address to WordPress in the last post on my Xanga page here. Hopefully my link is active if you would want to get to it. Either way, like Frank says, Lynn, don't be discouraged! There is always hope! 
Blessings to you - Debi
