Not very advanced, just some minor scripts on both. But I think they're cute anyway.
www.xanga.com/rawk_sauce --> my personal site www.xanga.com/Kerry4President --> my political site EDIT: Maybe they're lame...:shrugs: I don't know any HTML, that's actually kinda why I'm here, to see if I can find some skins that I like (so far, no luck) without having to write it myself- which you probably look down on, but sorry, I'm really not good with that kind of thing, and I get sick of stuff so fast, it's like why would I spend all this time making a great site all by myself only to change it like 24 hours later- because that's like the average life span of a layout on my personal site. Yeah, I would be able to say "I made that!" and be all proud it's mine...but who really cares? If I can find a great skin someone else made, I'm happy. It's coming down soon anyway. |

The first one is a layout that you didn't make. The second one sucks. Period.

lol...I think it looks a lot better than most of the skins I see around here. rawk_sauce I didn't make, of course, but I think it's very cute. And with the second one I would rather have something simple- I try to focus on what I'm writing in there rather than putting a bunch of scripts and a skin that looks like crap, like the majority of skins I've seen, especially on the skins board. They're too busy. Besides, it's a political site, and it's red, white and blue. So what? If I can find a Kerry skin I'll put that on there.

Well of course simplicity is always a good thing to have in a layout, but it can still be simple even if it looks more high-tech. My layout is pretty simple but it took quite some time. I think a RWB layout could look very interesting. |

I think what they're trying to say is that it should be a noticeable effort to customize your layout, not just changing a couple colors. Oh yea, since you're still new to here, don't take comments to seriously. Some people are more blunt than others.
As for your 2nd layout, still needs work. Very defaultish. Learn some basic html and some type of photoshop program. Maybe start out with making a banner? Then work from there. |

Actually, what you guys are describing as "defaultish" is actually the kind I like...I like having a profile picture, and my blogrings visible, and my site meter and stuff.

Actually, you can still get a profile pic, blogrings and all that without the default. My layout is sorta like that and so are many others. (Click on Gypsy Eye's signature. She's got a perfect example of what I'm talking about!)
But if you like defaults then thats fine. But maybe a banner on the 2nd one. It'd still be deafault but it'd give it a little something more. |

well you cant really show off the first xanga because it's not yours to show off but the second one is pretty default. perhaps add a banner that has to do with today's political condition.

personally, i just think that you wanted to show off your Kerry pride. this is suppose to show off your "newly hacked" xanga, not your views.
