Why Not to Use Xanga
Some good info in here.
Friend: elloit u should switch over to xanga instead of blog
Me: xanga sucks..
Friend: lol
Me: i created my xanga in march but it’s just a commercial business
Friend: ic
Me: they force ads on your blog
Friend: ic
Me: the features are horrible and you can’t customize very much without paying $
Friend: im not surprised
Friend: so ur making money off of xanga?
Me: no. xanga is
I have a xanga.
I use it because I can password protect it, unlike blogger.com.
Blogger.com is my favorite blog site, I enjoy it a lot and used to have one, Myspace and livejournal are overrated.
But you can edit your xanga with HTML, which takes research and skill I admit, and in order to have more, you have to pay.
As far as advertisements go, there is a banner at the top, and that’s it.
You also have to be a xanga user to leave comments, eprops, or sign the guestbook.
There are also tons of security vunerabilities in xanga.
WELL YOU JUST NOT VERY SMART ARE YOU? XANGAS LOOK WAY BETTER THAN THIS SITE AND YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK FOR CODES AND THEYRE NOT HARD TO FIND. THATS WHY XANGA HAS A CLAF. I DIDNT SPEND ANY MONEY AT ALL FOR MY XANGA.
you all suck because ur xangas are better than mine and i dont noe how to put a new background RORRRR
hey xanga s not for idiots. it is for popular and preettty people like me. people whi do not play xanga is an idiot.
Damn I am like so confused all I want is a kick ass site with like a Final Fantasy theme and to make matters worse I know squat about HTML codes and how they work and whatev!!! I ask ppl for help on my site and they dont care so I feel dumb. Can anyone in here help me get a nice Final Fantasy backround for my site? Go check it out at xanga.com/evilvampbabe and you’ll see why I want a new backround.
Wow. This has got to be the funniest series of comments I’ve seen. Not to mention the original entry with the AIM convo. The comments and convo prove it, xanga is full of retards. Pathetic retards. I like your blog, btw.
blog sucks and xanga premium is not even expensive
why in the hell would u chose blog over xanga i mean i can see myspace over xanga but no why in hell blog! plz xanga has more features and u can put layouts on xanga u can’t do that on blog ive tried
so basically i think ur full of shit
Oh yeah well i think that gasoline has three piglets in its pants!! And.. and… and that some oranges r in ur pants so i lick them hehehe
Xanga only forces ONE ad on your page… and with certain scripts it’s possible to move it from the top of the page to a less noticeable place. Also, if you’re trying to attract visitors to your blog, Xanga is the way to go, due to its large community and things like Subscriptions and Blogrings.
For those who are seeking attractive women/men, why not go onto some dating site instead?
Xanga.com specialises in blogging (mainly). You’re totally wrong when you say you can’t customize it without going for premium. I used to believe that too, but just visit Createblog.com and Blogrings.net… There’s a lot of stuff you can do to personalise your Xanga, and all you have to do is just copy and stick in a code! If you can’t manage to do something as simple as that, then something must be wrong here.
But you can just make a decent page similar to this using what you’ve already got in Xanga’s Customise Look & Feel.
About that banner Ad, you shouldn’t be complaining since that’s one of the ways in which Xanga makes money. That’s why Xanga Classic is free. As far as I know, if you want a banner-free blog anywhere else, then you’d have to pay for it anyway. No big deal. (If you want to use scripts to hide it, then that’s up to you, but personally I wouldn’t recommend it)
And didn’t you know you could use Xanga as a business site? Erm…that should be explained in the FAQS.
Oh, and if you want music playing on your site… just go to http://www.xanga.com/music_galore..
Oops, it’s BLOGRING.NET, not blogrings.net. I keep getting confused with that, sorry!
K-F-C is dynamite
K-F-C is dynamit!!!
Me: the features are horrible and you can’t customize very much without paying $
yes you can… if you find the hidden tricks is soo easy.
i like 2 poop in my pants!!!!!and i make my sister hump me!!i like 2 rub myself and i like 2 pee in bushes!!!
my crush is Daniel moses!!
i like eggs!!>>>>i eat them right out of the shell!!i am fat and ugly and mean!

that is right cause i end up here after trying to put music on my xanga
Umm…my xanga looks fine and i didnt pay anything for it. If you actually know what to do and how to use everything, you could have a very nice lookin one…so why don’t you check it out?
oh by the way my xanga is at http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=xl3abygirl4u05x
Idiots never ceases to amaze, as the stream of unhelpful, all-caps and foul spelling commenting proves. The last few who do actually have something meaningful to say, my hat off to you.
Btw Mr.Lee, good work on the blog. Keep it up.
i was just wandering if you knew a code that i could use to have a background on my entries, i seriously have tried my hardest in looking.
thanks

Hey, everyone has their opinions.
Xanga can be customized in many ways without going premium. Premium gives you a tiny bit more features, but not much.
Personally, the banner ads at the top don’t bother me much, that being the only ad.
The population of the xanga community is chatspeaking, incoherent, angsty teenagers, but there are some blogs that are interesting to read.
Not everyone who uses xanga is an idiot, and not everyone who doesn’t is an idiot.
It’s all a matter of preferances.
wtf is this i dont get this at all…….urgh!
i know what u mean but u just gotta know how to work with it but u do have a point
