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!

Eh, I think I notice more female designers in just about anything that relates to layouts. There majority of people who have layouts here are females too..

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 >_> |

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. |

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