help with my xanga, a couple of problems Options

[ohlovely]

okay, for some odd reason bolded/italicized/underlined text doesnt work on my xanga. like theres no effect on them. when i see the layout on the xanga site im getting it from, i see it, but when i put it on mine i dont. i dont have anything in my webstats or javascript module. anyone want to venture a guess at what is wrong?

and does anyone know where i can find a xanga tracker?

<333 thanks

im really good with xanga codes and stuff, but i dont see anything wrong with the code. =\

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

I tried it on my xanga and it works fine.
Can you give us a link to your xanga?

[ohlovely]

http://xanga.com/romancism/

hmm..it seems to work, but thats weird, it wasn't working earlier. thats REALLY weird...

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

You're talking about your entry on September 30th? I think I see what you did.

You used this

CODE

<span style="font-weight: bold;">blah blah</span>

When it's suppose to be this

CODE

<B>blah blah</b>

Or you can just highlight the word and hit Ctrl B

[ohlovely]

Yes, i think that was the problem. =P is there anyway to add that code:

<span style="font-weight: bold;">blah blah</span>

to the xanga layout code, so i dont have to click edit html, and insert the code myself?

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

You dont really have to hit the edit HTML code. The bold, italic, and underline tool is already there whenever you're doing your entries.

[ohlovely]

Yes, but when i click the bold/italic/underline button, it puts in the span code and not the < b > code.

[talcumpowder]

If you're using IE, the Ctrl + B/U/I can be used.
But, otherwise, I suggest you just write your entries in notepad. It's way easier.
