Spamming the post list, I know. BUT FOR GOOD REASON...

I'm posting way too much. But this one's a rather important one.

This post marks the enabling of my comments, only because I'm super ecstatic that one of my friends has started writing on blogspot again. I've always liked reading people's posts on blogspot more than xanga. They seem to write more freely and things sound more personal to me here than there.

Xanga just seems so commercial and showy. It's the damn 'my subscriptions' link that kills it for me.

In light of enabling the comments, I am just reiterating that I write NOT for the comments, and will not really care for quantity of feedback. Just quality.

Anyway, welcome Steph. Glad to finally have you back.

A word on Comments.

I have decided to disable comments. I always felt like having comments on a page created additional pressure on the author to write something for the audience.

I feel a journal is not to be written for an audience, however, but instead to function as a place where you can record your own thoughts.

I've been trying to do that on xanga, but with the whole comments thing and subscription list, it's just hard to express your own thoughts honestly without wanting to alter it to make someone want to comment.

(you know, kind of like a damned popularity contest.)
