Maybe post up the code you used so we can see it.

I tried some of the scripts. Some of them just don't work anymore, probably because Xanga updated, or the stuff in the scripts were outdated (taken out, renamed, etc etc)

For example, the "dancing stars" script doesn't work anymore:

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->

<LAYER NAME="a0" LEFT=10 TOP=10 VISIBILITY=SHOW BGCOLOR="#FFFF00"

CLIP="0,0,3,3"></LAYER>
<LAYER NAME="a1" LEFT=10 TOP=10 VISIBILITY=SHOW BGCOLOR="#FFFF00"

CLIP="0,0,3,3"></LAYER>
<LAYER NAME="a2" LEFT=10 TOP=10 VISIBILITY=SHOW BGCOLOR="#FFFF00"

<LAYER NAME="a3" LEFT=10 TOP=10 VISIBILITY=SHOW BGCOLOR="#FFFF00"

<LAYER NAME="a4" LEFT=10 TOP=10 VISIBILITY=SHOW BGCOLOR="#FFFF00"

<LAYER NAME="a5" LEFT=10 TOP=10 VISIBILITY=SHOW BGCOLOR="#FFFF00"

CLIP="0,0,3,3"></LAYER>
<LAYER NAME="a6" LEFT=10 TOP=10 VISIBILITY=SHOW BGCOLOR="#FFFF00"

In this case, there's no image required to import, so this one probably is null because of updates.

Just a guess. You'll just have to play around with all the scripts, or you can make your own

[sherryvu]

the dancing stars script along with many others don't work for xanga classic users because it has settimeout in it.. but if you have premium they'll work

some of the cursors might not work if the file is removed from the server

[OkamaPower]

maybe the cursor url was deleted or sumthin from the host.
