Thats my Xanga, Im pretty new to Xanga and I dont have premium(Im cheap waht can I say) so its rather plain. Post your comments and tips! I need them

It's a default with a banner.
And there's no "e" in plain. o-0 Meh. You could do so much better than that. Even without premium. Some of the best sites I've seen don't have premium. Meh. Paperclip for effort. -hands you a paperclip-

haha I saw how I spelled it after I posted, tried to edit it but wouldnt let me.

And yes, thats why I said it was plain! I need some tips!

Hmm, I really like the concept, and the banner is very well-designed. You might try putting a border around the whole journal (modules and body), and making the guts all one background color, and then another bgcolor for the rest. I don't know if that made a shred of sense. It's so much easier to explain it visually.

[sethmo]

I understand. I made the left module the same color as the background. I added a "border" but its the only full border I could find in the scripts section. I do not know a schred of javascript, but I know a bit of HTML.

Thanks for the tip, Ill search for the script for the body border, see how it will look.

[Edit]
Ok I found someones journal that had a border and I found the script in their source file. Now how do I move the border inwards to cover the body more? I want to make another background for outside of the body border and get rid of the current background maybe?

niceee...but i think a litttle to plain, but if u like it, its good

[sethmo]

Haha thanks. I put a differnet background in, not sure if I like it or not. Im just looking for comments or tips to make it look less plain, maybe a little more complex. Just dont know where to start :P

Better than before. I still say it's default, so you may want to look around in scripts&tutorials. There's two skinning tutorials pinned in Tutorials, one when you just enter the Xanga set of forums.

your banner scares me X_x, i like it, but everything else is plain...check out our scripts and tutorials here at createblog like what reiri (nyah-nek0) said

[boobooxpp]

it's scary but good xP i like it. esp the animation...but maybe you should make the image smaller (width) but other than that, it's good :)

[sethmo]

THanks :)

What resolution are you using? Pretty sure its 1024x768 worthy. I figure nobody should still be using 800x600 :P

[demolished]

Wow. You did a pretty good job as a new member. Keep it up !

[hi-C]

You used the wrong form of "your" in your banner. Your is a possessive, i.e. "Is this your book?" The form you want is "you're," a contraction meaning "you are," as in "if you are (you're) going to the store, buy me a soda."

And your banner is wider than your blog.

Thanks for the comments/suggestions guys. TOday I decided to make my own "skin" if you can call it that. Took me forever to get everything aligned good. Hows it look?

It's aligned in Firefox so

[sethmo]

Yah its aligned in firefox because I tested it in firefox. I went to try it in IE and the left moduel is aligned, but the blog is about 400px down from the top instead of aligned with the left module. Everyone should use Firefox anyway :P
