OOOH I know. You seem to only have ONE link there. With waccoon's tutorial, you have to add MORE image map links.

CODE

<IMG SRC="http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9173/xangaBGcopy.jpg" BORDER=0 USEMAP="#NAME OF MAP HERE"> <MAP NAME="MUST BE THE EXACT NAME OF USEMAP IN THE IMG SRC"><AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="91,167,119,160" TARGET="imagemap_out" HREF="www.xanga.com"></MAP>

In this code, the part that says

CODE

<AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="91,167,119,160" TARGET="imagemap_out" HREF="www.xanga.com">

YOU MUST add more of those and change the links and the coordinates. you only have ONE set of coordinates in that code, but since you have 7 LINKS, then you MUST have 7 SETS of that code that contains the coordinates. You get what I'm saying? Arg at least that's what I think. I'm not on Xanga Staff.. So I wouldn't know for sure..

w00t, People Staff! lol

yes, you're completely right. more sets=more links. just give the map a name, and put the same thing for usemap
