Have you ever noticed that only females design http://www.xanga.com/ layouts? I don't think I've ever met a male Xanga layout designer!

It's because we're beautiful and in turn can transmogrify that beauty into an online creation.

But yeah, a lot of graphic designers are ladies; whereas the lads are more into writing programs and sussing coding.

if you look at the xangas of the months/year awards, there are a good amount of male designers.

Where's Ryan? He makes Xanga layouts. I'm sure I'd know more males that do, but I don't use Xanga.

there may be more females that you can see but i'm sure there are tons of guys out there equally as good designers. perhaps the females just prefer to input their creativity more toward the public rather than males.

o_O I know plenty of guys that create layouts for xanga. And all types of other places.

I hate coding with xanga now, they changed it all and I don't want to bother with it to understand >_>

*nods*

Actually in my experience, I've come across more guys who use Xanga than females. It's dying out, though - maybe this discussion should be "wtf happened to Xanga in the last couple of years?"

Seriously, I remember when I first joined CB and the Xanga support forum was almost as busy as the Myspace support. Now nobody seems to be using it.

xanga used to be the biggest thing then. CB still has blogger, and lj. But since myspace come out. Everyone just hop on the bandwagon.

^Haha same here. Xanga used to be a happenin' place. (its nice to see you posting, btw, Teesa. This is Kara [StanleyThePanda])

I know atleast a handful of guys who create/created Xanga layouts. Maybe its more female designers now? But I wouldn't really know, I never get on Xanga anymore.

I dont use Xanga but I belive that this
is true bout myspace layouts to
BUT...

When you do find male layout designer,
their sites are just awesome!
Take Louie from rewindd
He makes some of the best layouts out there!

Post.script.
Im a male myself but I dont consider my stuff "amazing" or anything close to that. Visit my site, gigalays.info
