Marc and Janet have these on their sites, and I'm wondering how to get my own.

Marc has 12 pictures and Janet has 9 but here is the script they use:
Marc: http://photo.xanga.com/xangaphotos.axd?t=b...U=&count=12
Janet: http://photo.xanga.com/xangaphotos.axd?t=a...DQx&count=9

So if you copy their code, you get their photoblogs, not your own. I'm wondering how do I convert my Xanga name into the gibberish that they have in their script links?

Hmmm....

It's Base64 plus some gibberish.

You get this: janet@6475b6@41
When you decode this: amFuZXRANjQ3NWI2QDQx from Janet's URL.

You get this: marc@763384@65
When you decode this: bWFyY0A3NjMzODRANjU from Marc's URL.

Any further pointers? I decoded it at this site: http://ostermiller.org/calc/encode.html

if it's only for premium, they have the usernames and photoblog info and such saved on the server's backend databases. In other words, even if you do figure out what the ids mean, you still won't be able to get it to work. Unless you can hack it (trust me, you won't be able to) (and don't try, either, please), you can't get it to work without premium.

A better option is to make your own, either using javascript from ground up, or just hardcoded html. Better yet, I think photobucket has some similar functionality. You can just use their HTML for something like that.

Flickr offers something very similar, if you don't mind not using xanga.photos you could check that out.

No, I have Premium Plus...

My thought is that if there's somewhere in Xanga where you can find that ID that Xanga uses for their members, you could figure it out.

It maybe like that because they are members of the Xanga Staff.

Oh, then there should be no problem doing it. I suspect it's hidden somewhere in your "upload photos" CLAF, or your preferences section. If you can't find it, I'm sure Xanga can help you set it up, especially since you're a premium member.

*EDIT*
nvm, it seems that you don't even need to be premium! awesome!

it's right here:
