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.

A lot of people use Blogger because of its simplicity. It's also easier for people to comment, because a lot of the time only Xangans comment other Xangans' blogs, but with Blogger, people without Blogger/Google accounts still comment with OpenID, their name/URL, or anonymously. Xanga added the anonymous commenting feature a few months ago, but it definitely doesn't get as much use as Blogger's does.

Sounds simple enough. =P So a light/middle shade of gray, then? And how many columns do you want, just one on either the left or right to display information about yourself, your cameras, etc.? Or two columns (on both sides of the main photoblog)?
Oh yeah, I remember taking Blogger's easier commenting system a consideration. And I never knew Xanga got anonymous commenting too. I guess that just show how used it gets.

And yeah, simplicity is key. I wouldn't mind even a darker gray. I guess I'd just like to see how it'd look on the whole Xanga. I don't want no ugly gray though, ha ha, if you know what I mean. I'd probably go with one column on the left, still minding that the main photo space should be a little more than 900px wide. Also, Xanga's photoblog wouldn't be the focus, but just the regular webblog since I just post photos uploaded from elsewhere.

Ah, it's cool, but for the kind of design I'm thinking of it's too complicated towards the top, and not enough blog space. Of course I didn't expect the layout to fit my guidelines or anything, and it's a good layout. thumbsup.gif
