what really irritates me is some 14 year old kid that thinks xanga is stupid because he doesn’t understand the concept of business. xanga IS a company, designed to make a profit. any business is like this. you can’t have a million people sign on to a web page (which, in turn, routes through the internet, connecting to an expensive server room running multiple t3 lines, all of which cost money) and expect it to be free. on top of that, people have to maintain it. js, php, and html technologies are not the easiest to keep up and maintain, especially if you are dealing with databases.

now lets look at blogger. blogger puts a small bar at the top of your site to let you browse through other sites, and go home. typically, there is a small text advertisement, and blogger offers options that cost money to pay for. they do the same thing, except in a less commercialized scale.

going back to ads on xanga, there are two servers xanga retreives ads from. if you set your security settings high enough, and block the two main sites (i’m not going to tell you what they are because 1. i don’t feel like searching through my list and wasting my time, and 2. because you seem to be so anti-xanga that it doesn’t matter what i do or tell you, you’re still going to hate it and be frustrated), you will never see another ad on xanga again. there are also alternatives in the coding that you can remove the banners. such as on blogger though, you remove their ad-banner, you can be kicked off/banned from the respective service.

you need to learn things before shouting off at the mouth.

how do i put a layout on my xanga?

Xanga doesnt suck. So what if its commerial buisness, its not like everything else isnt.

xanga dont suck :)!!!!!!!!!!!

I love xanga… I created my entire site with HMTL/CSS… it’s not hard, nor is it that time consuming. It does not cost money to type up HTML. You just have to know what you want.
