My BADness, in advanced! I'll claim newbie status, since I'm still an amateur poster on these createBlog forums. So yeah, I'm hoping this posts properly.
Onwards to My Xangonisa. |

Hmm, thanks. Apparently [I'll critique myself], it seems like my Xanga layout may be partially out of date or something? I've noticed that majority of the new Xanga skins submerging have this typical direction of using aligned DIVs poised over simple-to-complex backgrounds <- [stating the obvious, all the way] that consist of incredibly small texts, with single entries. I find many of them impressive & influential, and allowing more character on the designing level. So yeah, I guess using tables are "So 2003"! I'll eventually upgrade to the aligned DIV-ageness. Scripting the alignment of the DIVs manually should be a blast! *sarcasm*

Hehe. I just recently started making skins, so I never even learned how to make them with tables. The div alignment isn't too bad though if you know all the dimensions of your layout as you create it on Photoshop.
Awesome Xanga! I love how the blogs are all the same size and have a scrollbar. Makes it seem svery organized somehow. The layout is altogether awesome, and I like your choice of colors, especially how all of the images in your posts are black and white to match! |

Hey thanks for the suggestion Frankie_08. Haha, I knew the setup would have turned some people off.
 I took that into consideration though, when I first setup my layout. Unfortunately when I did switch my banner with my profile table, the layout sorta seemed too too organized, and didn't really balance well... since the profile table blended too much with my entry [container] table. If only my banner was taller in height, it would've seemed more appealing for the banner to be on top. I guess I wanted something abstract for the most part, so it adds some type of indefinite schema.  Thanks for the acknowledgements though, guys! Still leaves me with the lingering question, is it grey or is it gray? Sorry if this question seems rhetorical. I'm still bewildered.
