Hi there,

Xanga accounts will always be free. You'll be able to subscribe to sites, read your subscriptions and comment on sites for free.

Xanga blogs though, have switched to a paid membership. In return, you'll get all the features of WordPress combined with some extra features we'll be adding to the site over the coming months.

Over time, we hope to make more features available to our free members... but for now, Xanga's model is changing as described above.

Your blog posts have been archived... they are saved and available for a free download!
http://wc6f20.xanga.com/

You can download them by signing in here:

When you have a copy of your blog posts on your own computer, you can do one of two things:

1. Upload your archives to another site that's compatible with your blog archives.

WordPress.com is one such free site... more information on how to import your archives into WP here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-xanga/

2. Upgrade your account to Xanga 2.0, and stay on Xanga.
You can use PayPal (can also pay via credit card through this page) to purchase a one-year membership for Xanga 2.0: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=WSTANQDA9BAC2

If you choose this option please forward your Paypal confirmation email along with your username to help@xanga.net, we will get your site upgraded ASAP.

Thanks,
Eugenia at xanga.com
