FEELING “TRUE” BLUE
My Xanga buddy, @DW418 recently achieved “True” status in Xangaland. I asked him how he did it and he sent me a link; the link that shows your current standing in the Xanga community.
I was chagrined to learn that Xanga doesn’t feel that I post enough. Hmm…yeah, they’ve got a point. I only post a weblog when I get the overpowering urge to spurt out my feelings or views. But, in my defense, I spend a LOT of time being loyal to my friends and visitors on Xanga. I read their posts, 99% of which are just great and make me jealous of their talent; I comment a lot on those that either touch or tickle me, and I sometimes send a pulse or two.
Although I am retired, my life is not really my own. My SO, Danny, is high maintenance and he is already asking me about the amount of time I spend on my laptop! I think he suspects that I am on a dating service or am looking up Porn. Poor man. I let him think what he wants…makes our love life..oh, never mind, TMI.
I have thought about cheating to obtain the lofty position of being “TRUE”. I could write 10 web-logs a day, with different titles, that have no other content than “Ha..Ha..made you look!” I could comment on every article in the main Xanga room with a “Hmm.” on each and every post. But, that would be cheating..and if there is one thing I am, it is honest! (Well, most of the time.)
To quote my hero, Stephen King, “If you don’t read; you can’t write!” So, fellow Xangans, if my journey to “TRUE” status takes a little longer because I am addicted to reading your posts..so be it!
Love ya all!

I place no value on the true badge b/c as you said, it’s relational to a bunch of things, and it doesn’t necessarily mean you have the best posts or the best xanga experience. I may never get one, as I know Ill never be top page with my footprints lock on. Many people wont even bother to come by b/c they like to stealth around without being seen and my lock is just a cumbersome annoyance to them.( not you. I know you come and read. thank you) Still, if this little status bar makes DW happy, then I am pleased for him as well. Sometimes we all just need a little something to give an extra boost of happy to our day.
There are Xangans who never read even though you may post comment on their posts.
I know I have true badge, and I got it long time ago, and cannot remember much of it as to how I got it. But never mind the true badge. You write in your own pace, and be friends to show your compassion to others. That is what is really needed. In my opinion.
There’s a lot of slop out there, and I would rather read someone who posts less often and more thoughtfully.
Haha, yeah that is the way to be.
And really I think the true badge should be based on how long a person’s been here rather than how many posts they’ve posted. For a lot of people post like 3 posts a day. Of course it wouldn’t take them long to reach the True Badge, lol.
I’m not really sure of the criteria for this badge. Just know they told me I don’t post as much as the average Xangan.
So true and me too!@OperaJan -
Your opinion happens to be spot on! @angys_coco - @angys_coco -
I’ve never noticed the true badge/tag thing
I read more than I write because I’m pretty boring…now I’m going to post this and see what it say’s about me! Thanks for the visit, the pictures were by the U.S. Naval observatory and Earthsky.
well at least it say’s I’m “Prem”
You betcha!
Those pics were awesome. And I doubt that you are boring! I haven’t met a boring person in Xangaland yet. All have something special, if nothing more than they are willing to put it out there.
I am a posting fiend and have true… I guess it doesn’t mean much because once you have it you don’t have to keep posting to keep it.
Everyone has to post the same number of posts before they get their true badge.
Have a good rest of the week end.
I also dont post tons (like you only when it hits me) but I must leave a lot of footprints. I check in on “friends” to see what’s happening… I will be stopping by to check on you…. Merry Christmas! ^..^
And a very Merry Christmas to you and all your loved ones.@SheTigerCat -
