xanga update

hi all.

it's official. my xanga is now shut down. everything has been downloaded from it. lindsaydamodel.xanga.com is now gone forever, not to be migrated into their new pay-to-use system if their warehouse situation is resolved.

later. ~Lin-chan ^.~

happy 4th!

happy 4th all! it's been a long day of playing around with this photo migration update, but it is nearly complete! ^_________^


planned posts will now resume as planned. the following three posts still need tweaking, but i want to get back to making new posts. later!

2012:
reswatch: 5/13
retake photos: 2/28

**i have encountered a problem with using Google Drive to host my photos; if you use MS Internet Explorer, my photos will not load. you will need to use a different browser such as Chrome or Firefox.

i'm still here!

hey guys! i'm still here. i'm still in the process of deciding how i'm doing everything for my photos/photo hosting issue. most photos have been downloaded and then re-uploaded into my google drive, but i'm thinking of stamping all of my photos from before the whole ftc stuffs as well, in addition to possibly condensing some of the photos into PicFrame to have less spread-out photos. i'm still working on it and it will be done before july 15th--when xanga may or may not shut down.

between working, being an extra in a movie, going on our anniversary trip, it's been kinda hectic. [and two new video games aren't helping either...... ^_^;] and doing the above things is kinda a pain. Paint.net is slightly a fickle program as far as speed (loading/opening files). as well as, if i use PicFrame: i'm migrating photos onto and off of my phone to condense them..then putting my signature stamp onto them. ~.~

anyway, i'm still working on everything if you guys could all bear with me. thanks. ~Lindsay-chan ^.~

xanga's going down...maybe.

hi all! as many of you may or may not know, i started my first blog on xanga in june 2004. through this past january, i was posting to it quite regularly and even paid for a lifetime membership several years ago, which made my site ad-free and gave me 10gb of photo storage. unfortunately that chapter is coming to a close as the lease on their networking facility is nearing expiration. they have come up with an alternate solution plan that will require a continually paid subscription to keep the amenities i once enjoyed.

so here's my solution:
free google drive accounts come with a good bit of cloud storage, so i'm planning to begin migrating my photos to it soon. i would like to complete the photo migration (and update image links in past posts) before making any new posts, with one exception: i will still make a post for the ipsy june '13 glam bag later this week, when i receive it. (please refer to this post for more information on how to permalink your photos from your google drive account.)


thank you for your understanding and patience in this transitional time. ~Lindsay-chan ^.~

xanga's down

hi all! apologies: xanga, where i host all of my photos, is currently down.

~L-c ^.~

first post on blogger

hi everyone!! i decided to move everything over from my xanga to blogger. i feel that this way i can reach a larger audience, not just my close friends. my xanga was something i created in high school, back in 2004 when a good number of my friends were active on it. nowadays, there are a few stragglers that come back and check it out, rarely posting. others have moved on in their life or moved their blogs elsewhere.

this blog will be exactly the same format as my xanga, the way i normally post, layout, everything: with my beauty ventures as of late, in addition to random tidbits of my real life. there are only two changes: 1) there are no smileys! sadface! so i will be posting my as ^.~ from now on. and 2) this is not xanga. this is blogger. another product of the ever powerful, google. 3-ish) i may continue to post protected posts on xanga as it appears that everything on this blog is public, if you don't make the whole thing private.

i will keep my xanga account open, as i paid for lifetime premium many years ago and have tons of photo storage available on it. i have archived all of my posts up to today, even the angst-y high school ones that are forever hidden from view. lol. anyway, i will be posting all of my old blogs with their original titles and time stamps onto here shortly. the migration isn't as easy as i thought it would be--the archived posts are not in a blogger-friendly format and the "fixes" i've found are absolutely ridiculous. but those are equally as much of a pain as me going to each individual post editor and copying the html code into here. so let's go with the less complicated of the two evils.

based upon what i'm seeing, my more interesting public posts begin june 2011, so i will start with those. i think that i will keep my xanga as it is, public posts and all, up and unhidden. but aside from that, let the migration begin!

edit: a note about this blog layout: for some reason, my edits aren't properly showing up as i make the changes so if it's a little funky whenever the blogger techies fix it, i apologize.

edit: why in the hell do they have it so that you manually have to tell it whether you want comments or not. wtf. sorry to those who have wanted to comment..it's fixed.
