I was hoping to choose one of their themes to find something simple and clean, but they suck too much. It's impossible to find anything nice there. Seriously. They're disgusting.



I'm glad cB's on top of the game.

I do! I'm basically the only one out of my friends who still uses Xanga after three years, but recently two of them came back from the dead and started using it again. So many of them left for Facebook in 2006-'07, it was ridiculous. -_- But yeah, besides my friends' return, Xanga is a bit more popular again.

Blogger is good if you want simplicity, and the preset templates are decent.

What kind of Xanga layout/theme do you have in mind? I haven't coded in a long time (too lazy; grew out of it), but maybe I can do something... Don't hold me to it, though, I'm still lazy about Xanga coding. laugh.gif
Yeah, only a few of my friends regularly blog on Xanga, and there are a few that don't update for a long time, but at least when they do update, their blogs are good.

I was thinking about Blogger 'cause of simplicity, I'm just wondering exactly how many people use it and what kind of audience I'd even be able to reach.

I was thinking of just a really simple and clean, yet elegant Xanga layout. There wouldn't be a whole lot cluttered since 900+px wide of the layout would be reserved for photography and other images. The colors wouldn't have been that complicated either. Probably just something neutral (gray maybe?) so that the photos are the focus, and the whites and blacks show up well too. Ha ha, no worries though if you're too busy. I may just invest on a website instead, I dunno.

I do! I still make Xanga layouts, too. :] Although they're kinda complicated.

You can tell how much activity there is for a certain blogging site by looking at the activity (number of comments/favorites) there are for the layouts for that blogging site on CB. XD

I like Facebook, but I wish they'd let you put your own layouts on it and stuff. :[

As for the Xanga themes, some of them are okay, but most are really crazy.gif. You can submit ("share"), but I don't exactly get the difference between look & feel and themes, and I'm too lazy to find out. XD
Ha ha, I totally agree with Cristy about custom HTML/CCS on Facebook. HAIL to the NO. I just know FB would go down the drain if they did that. The uniform default works just great for them, in my opinion. (Though maybe they could get a darker nighttime setting too? Ha ha.)
