BLOGRINGS RELAUNCH
We’re relaunching Blogrings today!
Monsur, Marc, and Dan cleaned up the interface, and stomped out some bugs. We also added a few features:
- MORE BLOGRINGS: Everyone now has up to 8 blogrings… so premium or not, you can join eight blogrings. Plus: if you ever go off a free trial or premium account, your blogrings will never expire.
- PROFILE PICS: We’re now displaying small versions of your profile pics on blogring member lists… pretty no?
- IMPROVED SEARCH: Blogring search is much better – and we’re updating our blogrings search index every day (hopefully we can keep this pace up!).
With our new code in place, we’re in a great position to start adding blogrings features again. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy these new features
.
UPDATE: Just posted an update on the blogrings re-launch!
- MORE BLOGRINGS: Everyone now has up to 8 blogrings… so premium or not, you can join eight blogrings. Plus: if you ever go off a free trial or premium account, your blogrings will never expire.

yah for the pretty new blogrings layout!
niice! this’ll save me the trouble of clickin on ppl’s sites! good job john!
awesome job, john. i heard that you guys are also looking into the whole “expiration of a user name” thing.. from jeffthegills xanga =). that’s a great idea. let me knw more details about it, if u can!!=)
WOAH! AWESOME!! that is so sweet!
rock on!
great job! love what you did with the profile pics!!
The new blogrings are way cool. Thanks you guys!
Very cool! Thanks!
Dude! It looks awesome!!!
nice. finally i can join more than 4 blogrings.
That’s so cool! Keep it up!
Thanks! Good stuff!
Don’t know if it’s just me, but it’s not letting me join any blogrings over the 4 I have. I click to join and the page just refreshes.
whoohoo!
Thank you so much! I’ve been having blogring issues for awhile now. I started a blogring and then I got kicked out when my premium expired…I haven’t been able to be a member of my own blogring! Thanks so much for fixing this!!
it’s awesome!!!!!!!!
hi if u read this comment, i jsut want to tell u the new layout seems a little inconvenient so i was wondering would u please consider:
1. setting the default back to sort by newly updated
2. making it so we can see what time the person updated not just the date.
that would make it alot better, kthx
I agree with foolish_humans. the new default is very annoying and we need to see the time too. I like the new layout but it would be sooo much better if the things that were there before were left too.
nicely done.
Woohoo!!! Thanks. Now keep track of the hackers…sigh…
awesome..now i can have more than 4
AWESOME!!! the pics are really cool =] and 8 blogrings is just awesome ^_^
random prOpz!
Yay! Eight whole blogrings! My dreams have been answered.
thanks.
looks hottie hot.
Yay! Thankyou! I have alot more interests that 3 but now 8 covers it! Thanx!
Looks terrific but I will be looking forward to being able to remove dead sites from the ring and people who are not involved in the ring in any way, shape or form. That which was done to upgrade, I give it a 10. Terrific, great going, muchos gracias.
i’m down.
danke.

yay!! now i can join more than 4 blogrings!! thankss
sweet!~
i’m havin a blogrin issue, too.. when i update mi xanga, it duzn’t go to the top of the recently updated page.. wuts goin on?
gotta love the blogrings!
You guys never seem to stop keeping me in awe.
great job! thanks for letting us join 8 blogrings!
should b convenient. thanks!
it only seems to put you at the top of the ‘newly updated’ list when you post, and not when you edit a post. can you change that? please?
WOOT!
you guys should figure out a way to make it easier to change the way the dates look [without having to use all the codes] because my friend showed me how to do it but it erased the advertisement so i had to take it off. :[
thx!

oooooooooooooo, kewliez ^_^
sounds great
yayuh i can join more blogrings now
yea, the new format thing for blogrings is cool but when i go to see the newly updated it stays the same…then i tested by posting in my xanga and then went back to see what happened….NOTHING!!!
Suggestion: Set it back so the newly updated appears first..
i’m lovin’ it!
thxxx!!! llookkkksss awesome!!! have to agree with FOOLISH HUMANS tho… abt seeing the time and being org by newly updated…
thanks!!!
Personally, I hate the new layout. I find it highly annoying and it does not refresh and update no matter what I do. I liked it the way it was before. Sorry.
love the new feats thx dude
2 thumbs up, and 2 eprops to split between the four of you. Great job guys.
always doing an awesome job there! Thanks!
it would have been nice to give premium members some extra blogrings to join. otherwise… good work!
For some reason the blogrings page doesn’t refresh. I like the layout, but is it just buggy? Hope that can be fixed.
Yay..thankee John.
Yay!
yey!! I LOVE YOU! i hated only being able to be in 4 blogrings; i could never decide which ones to join. this is so much cooler. THANK YOU!
can we have the default setting back to recently updated and have the time (not only the date) show up for last post?
other than that, awesome job!
I love it!
Schweet, good work, I like the changes
_Chris
oh, seems like recently updated isn’t so recent. lol. reloading it isn’t even helping.
looks great! thanks for all your hard work! but I agree with foolish humans and the others . . . it would definitely be cool if recently updated appeared on top and we could see the time.
cool thanks. is tehre a way that to delete members of a blogring if the “ring-leader” decides to do so? that option for premium (or maybe even regular) members, i think, would be a good idea.
I asked this on Marc’s blog when he posted about the profile pictures, but didn’t see a response in his comments. So I’ll ask again here: How does this affect the rotating profile pic issue? If I want to upload my pics again to get them to be better quality, do I need to do anything different in the naming protocol to keep the rotating picture feature working correctly?
hey, could it be possible that you make the default setting for the blogrings, “recently updated” instead of “by join date” because i always click on my blogrings to be able to comment on whoever i see has updated, but by having it grouped by “join date” it makes the same xangas pop up over and over
but nice job on the profile pix!!
suggestion: could you add on the time next to the date last updated like before?
ooh thanks!
^ yes i agree with them. Please make it so that you see who recently updated instead of who recently joined
i dunno if this is just me or not but when i click to join a blogring…..i can’t and the same page keeps reappearing. i think i tried everything but i got into blogrings before it all changed.
1. setting the default back to sort by newly updated
2. making it so we can see what time the person updated not just the date.
I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!!
hey! I really <3 the blogrings!! This way I know who’s blog I’m reading. Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s not updating… plus the sorting doesn’t work right, and it always goes straight to join date and not what you last looked at.
Yay! Thanks for adding the new feature!
kool i thought 4 blogringz just wasnt enough PHEW and you also made them better thx a lot diz iz really kool
8 BLOGRINGS? Are you serious?!
I love you guys!!!!!!
wow! so that’s what happened to the blogrings. majorly cool! great job!
wowzers, 8 blogrings???? YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
I hate the new layout. Because I’m stuck with a dial-up connection, it takes longer for the page to load because of the pictures. Pictures are unnecessary because people are known by their usernames.
Don’t fix what’s not broken.
kudos. this rocks. :]
yay i can join one more! lol
kudos to you guys! thanks!
cool… thanks. Can’t wait to see what other features you guys have in mind for the blogrings. I can wait, though
Very nice…just one question, though – “recently updated” is a little more useful than “by join date” or “by username” – is there any way to adjust the default sorting style when I go to visit a blogring? And viewing the time (in addition to the date, for “site last updated”) was sort of nice – would it be possible to add it back?
Thanks.
I agree with the foolish dealie guy.
Also, I too have noticed that my own dealie doesn’t seem to appear in the ‘newly updated’ portion after I update.
THANK Y0U
yay! more blogrings! only bein able to join 4 was so annoying! will we be able to join, like, 16 now if we have Premium or somethin?
just a comment which you probably won’t read- i love the pictures and stuff, but its a little inconvenient that we can’t see who last updated. the sites are out of order, even when i click the little tab that says “Recently Updated”- it says that mine was updated yesterday when I just updated it. Just thought I’d let you know.
well, the new feature is cool~
but chinese characters cannot be shown in the blogrings correctly now…
chinese blogring names are changed to a mess…
Please visit my site. Subscribe. Enjoy.
Thanks for the improvements, but I still want to be in the premium spotlight. Who’s tired of that HeyJude girl? Because I sure am.
Wow. Looks WONDERFUL. More blogrings =
. But yeah, like all those ppl’ve been saying, recently updated on top and times would be great!
Yes!!! 8 blogrings! And the profile pics on blogring memeber lists look great! You guys rock!!!
Yeah, I seem to have a slight problem: it is not allowing me to join existing blogrings. If I want to join more, I have to make a new one. Basically, the page just refreshes when I want to join another blog ring.
I like the overall set-up of it, though.
Thank you.
Excellent work on the new layout however there is an error in the newly updated code somewhere which is preventing the most recently updated xanga from moving to the top of the “Recently Updated” list. It appears you uploaded the files without testing them enough, no worries though, i am sure the mistake is relatively easy to fix. I dont much experience with .aspx files or i would have offered my advice.
Essentially, when i tested the new blogring service by updating my xanga, i did not move to the top, but stayed where i was. That almost nulls the best part of a blogring alltogethor.
Also, it would be extremly handy if the default listings on the main page for each blogring were changed to “Recently Updated” instead of “Join Date”, becuase no one really cares how recently someone joined a blogring, but more as to when anyone posted previously. It really just puts unnessesary strain on your bandwith by making everyone load an extra page for no reason at all.
Also, add the times along with the dates of the previous update, it would make the blogring experience more helpful and fun.
I know you probably didnt read but thanks anyway.
coolness.. thank you much.
YAY MORE BLOGRINGS!
YAY MORE BLOGRINGS!
ehh i dotn like it at all.. the old was better
I love the New Blogrings!
hey U GUYS CHANGED MY BLOG RING NAME! WDF!
THAT IS SO AWESOME! THANKS!! <3
hey..i like the layout…but is it just me? or is there a problem with newly updated blogs getting sorted back to the top of the list?? =*(
good job dudes dis is so koo now love wat u guys doin, keep up da GREAT WORK!
Really cool updates….Thumbs up to the Xanga team!!!
Awesome. Thanks!
It’s gorgeous. Thanks!
‘newly updated’ as the default would be cool
I love the layout! Good Job, Xanga Team!
Is there Xanga in heaven? Go Dawgs…Owen
Thanxs soooo much!
Well, they look really cool, but I’d like them defaulted to “recently updated”, plus the blogring pages aren’t updating themselves like they should. My blog used to go to the top automatically whenever I posted something in it, but now it doesn’t.
o0o0o0o0o!!! YAY MORE BLOGRINGS!!!!!
is there any way you guys can make a thing for our blogrings so that we can arrange the order of it?
Dang! It looks so cool! ;D AND I can join more blogrings now! I commend you guys for your outstanding improvements. ^^;;
Keep up the good work!
theres only one problem, its kinda annoying to always have to click on the recently updated link inorder to see the recently updated sites. it would make life easier if you make that the default starting page. otherwise its AWESOME.
*screams with delight* EEEEEEEEEEE! I love you John! Can I be a John groupie?!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!! before, i can only join 4 and i have to pick out my blogrings very carefully but now….. 8!!!! YAY!!!!!
The new blogrings are awesome. I like the way you can see the picture .. thanks!!!
i updated my site, but the blogring lists still show that i havent updated since the 11th. error in code?
there are so many mistakes you guys made. the old one was so much better. i understand you worked hard at this one, but it is really annoying and it works horrible. fix it so it doesn’t suck. i hope you actually read these things.
nice! i lyk the new interface : )
YOU GUYS ARE THE SHYT!
Please change the default to “recently updated” and perhaps add a timestamp? I live for my blogrings.
umm, something weird’s going on. i updated my site, but my name’s not going to the top of the recently updated list on my blogrings.
bugs?
TIMESTAMP!!!
UPDATES ARE NOT SHOWING!!!!
RECENTLY UPDATED SHOULD BE DEFAULT!!!
I like the design, but I agree: recently updated should be default. Also, under recently updated, it doesn’t list the people by order of the most recent time they updated as was before. If you fix these kinks, it will be a really nice interface. Thanks.
I CAN’T JOIN ANY BLOGS!!!!! HELP! :SAD:
On my second comment, I said the system wasn’t allowing me to join a blogring, it looked as though the page was only refreshing. I have noticed atleast two other people state the same thing happened to them. I was using IE and I even tried in Netscape, to no avail. I finally went d/l Mozilla’s FireFox browser and was able to join a blogring that way. Of course, the problem with using FireFox is that the effects of most of the scripts used on Xanga can’t be viewed.
This script makes the blogrings default to “recently updated”.
this really needs to be fixed so that the most recently updated ones show up at the top when you select recently updated–blogrings with lots of people can’t just be sorted by day…
w00t
hey, all thats pretty cool i guess….
great work guys. looks bueatiful. maybe u could make it so the default page will show the newly updated ones. but keep up da good work. =)
Yay!
I like the new look… but the “recent update” is not updated……
awesome ideas… blogrings look fantastic! good job guys!
You guys rock!!! I think that this will get you guys more business and stuff… lol. :p! I’m JK!
Lub you lots! -fallen_angel
hahahahaha… wow i’m seriously getting xanga dorky. when i saw “everyone now has up to 8 blogrings” i threw my hands up in the erRr and went “WOO!”
damn, that’s so sad.
i kannt find mi user name on tha blogring im in…man..you shuldnt change things SOO much…buht you kno..wtv
i think it looks really nice now…
but is there a way to make newly updated the default display for the blogrings?
it’s ok… but I don’t like having to go over and click on the “recently updated” tab, it should be the default when you go there. Also, it’s not listing them in an updated order anyway.
I don’t think u stomped on some bugs…i tink u made more…newayz plz fix da problem. itz all fine and all but herez a quote for u
“If u keep on making more wrongs and one right, ur still not gettin newhere.”
I like it!! Thank you very much!!
yes, a timestamp for the working recently updated section would be great too.
It looks really cool. I was surprised at first but now I’m adjusting to it. The profile pic was a good idea.
i concur. newly updated on top/default.
sweet. thanks for giving us more blogrings w/o the premium. love what you are doing, keep it up
ok but as long as the premium members gets the uttermost BENEFITS!!! remember we do pay for this service…
I agree that the ‘Newly Updated’ tab should be the default. Also… is the issue with the most newly updated blogs not appearing at the top of the list going to be resolved any time soon?
umm okay, the description part is gone.. which my whole blogring title was based on……. but hey ur shit. not mine.
^^
PROPS!
nice site u got here. keep up the good work
.+*c h r i s*+.
my bad, you can change the description. nice work. props
blogring pictures eh? i guess i’mma have to update my profile pics now or something…goodnesss i been posting the same pic for sucha freakin’ longgggg timeee! hahaha my god…n it look so damn distorted in the blogring too! oh man.. haha =]
i love the new blogring enhancement though =] y’all rocks! *grins.
Quote: ”Well, they look really cool, but I’d like them defaulted to “recently updated”, plus the blogring pages aren’t updating themselves like they should. My blog used to go to the top automatically whenever I posted something in it, but now it doesn’t.”
Almost exactly what i was going to say, and it doesnt show the time someone has updated, and the Blogs arent staying recent with the updates, persay, my friends site in the blogring, says she updated last 5/12, and looking at the site it shows the update from 5/13, can you PLEASE FIX THIS. cause yea, its really annoying…really…it is…or maybe give us some control over how we want to view, or set the blogrings…thanx…
yeah i noticed that the whole description thing is gone, kind of a pain when i don’t remember what mine said exactly so i have to start all over, why didn’t that transfer over?
The new interface looks really clean. But i’m gonna have to reiterate what a lot of people have said.
1)Make the “recently updated” tab the default.
2)The recently updated tab doesn’t actually reflect when people have updated their blogs or sort them in order of when they were updated!!
oh ic….its good then…keet it up! men…
EXCELLENT!!!!
its so cool!!!!!
That’s fantastic, thank you!
The amazing thing is that, no matter how good the news you give is, there always seem to be people who give you no eProps and criticise. That annoys me.
I’m glad I can be part of more blogrings now!
Having said that, after looking through the new blogring layout, I agree with what was said about the default setting being most recently updated, and adding the description of the blogring back in… otherwise I don’t really know what I WANT to join.
maybe it’s just me…i tried to join a blogring and it wouldn’t let me. an error didn’t occur, nothing out of the ordinary happened, the page went blank like it was loading and then nothing happened. the blogring wasn’t added to my list. oh, and the recently updated thing is strange. i just updated and when i went to check the blogring, it shows that my most recent post was from yesterday…?
same problem as gr8indianbear, plz fix, only way I know anyone has updated!
hmm maybe its just me…but all the blogrings im in dont work now
the newly updated arent the newly updated…
you are my hero.. now it will be easier for me to find hot emo guys on here!
ok yeah. sorry for my burst of excitement
~specialbunny
it’s great to have 8 blogrings to join!
John!!!! thank you soooooooooo much!!! You are so freaking amazing!!!!!!! I love Xanga and my day just get better and better because you always provide us with the coolest gear!!! You rock man!!!!!!!!! me and my friends from Tampa all want to say Thank You!!!!!!!!! Keep rockin!!!! Later!! ~arthur
excellent excellent excellent. thank you very much, xanga admins.
–jeff aka godofphotoshop
THANK YOU SO FREAKIN MUCH.
great. now more and more people think i’m flashing at them
I like it but I wish I had known it would erase the profile info… I liked what I had written and its gone LOL
awesome!
I like all of the new features, except one. You should put “newly updated” as the order default instead of “join date”. Just a thought.
This is great!
Of course, now I’m terminally embarrassed about my hideous profile pic, so I’ll have to do something about changing it. Thanks. Sorta. :-p
thats alot of eprops
Good… a few nice changes, but I would like to see some more options. Formerly, one would see blogs in a ring organized by order of most recently updated. I’d like to see an option that lets you set the default type of view in the order which you view members of a blogring.
Also, I’d like to see some additional links with the “<< Previous | Next >>” stuff. If you could put something like “<<< Last | First >>>” down there, so we could, say, quickly see who the first few members to join a blogring are without having to page all the way over there, that would be awesome. It’s sort of like how on a person’s blog, there’s “<< Previous 5 | Next 5 >>” at the bottom right, but there’s also ”|<< oldest | newest >>|” just below the posting calendar. I think these additions would be very sensible.
While I enjoy the new look, the blogrings doesn’t update itself in real time.
dude thanks a lot for the 8 Blogring thing, that really is awesome. W00t go xanga!
hey just noticed a small problem after you guys updated xanga. in blogrings, when selecting whether you want to sort the blogs in order of username, last joined, or last updated; it no longer allows you to save the setting of your preference. oh and also, i just updated my xanga and it’s not on the newly updated part of any blogrings.
other than that, thanks for xanga!
the blogring relaunch looks sweet.
might i suggest that you make the default tab the “most recently updated” one though? because the reason people check the blogrings (or at least the reason i do) is to see which xangas were most recently updated. thanks!
You need to change the “About Premium” page: It still says that premium members get up to six blogrings.
Can someone help me report abuse? There are about 5 Xanga accounts whose soul purpose is to harass me and my boyfriend…
yea, the interface is a nice facelift, but you should keep the default blogring entry page to ‘newly updated’ and have them actually display the newly updated pages. kudos for your efforts though
I might be late but umm.. what happened to the blogring description? o.O
UGh i cant find out who is newly updated..i updated mine and it appears on the blog page that i didnt even update yet..how do i fix it. Im used to seeing all the newly updated now i dont..sigh…cry…wahhhh
there’s an error… the blogrings aren’t updating to reflect recent posts… i updated my page an hour ago and still no change in the “recently updated” section of my blogrings.
i love the new layout though! excellent work.
when are you going to fix this? this is so annoying, i thought you would have it under control by now, but it is still messed up. i am starting to think xanga is very crappy. fix it already.
Beta test your code. The blogrings DO NOT list newly updated xangas, even in the “newest updated” mode.
Yeah, I had a good thing wrote on my blogring description Country Rock Stars. And it is gone. If you could put the descriptions back I’d like how you redid it.
And is there some way to put it on Newly Updated for good? B/c it’s easier to see who’s site to read.
Thanks. Have a great one! chad.
the new look is nice.. but I’ve notice a glitch. Everytime I click on the recently updated, it doesn’t give me the recently updated. Is there a fix to this?
I love it!!
You guys rock. Thanks for giving us templates (change names of comment/props and comment colours) because I am much too untalented to discovered how to do those on my own. Take care.
wh00t!
there aren’t any discription for blogs anymore?!
it’d be easier if all members showed up in order of newly updated.
other then that…the new layouts pretty awesome
Wonderful. I think. I havent even looked yet….so I guess I should go look first, then wonderful you.
But I do LOVE that you guys gave us the ability to join more blogrings. That was nice of you.
Its cool with all the mini profile pics, but thats it the rest sucks. You need to put it back to the old way where you could so the last entry someone one put in like the old one. Sorry i know you guys worked hard on it but in my opinion it sucks.
this is so awesome!!!!
um the recently updated doesn’t work and i don’t like the new format because it’s by join date, and of course the people that joined earliest and have stayed throughout end up on the last page of the first tab.
people have begun to leave and rejoin blogrings to be at the top of the “recently joined” tab.
it’s smart, but will be annoying since i’m the leader of my blogring.
Oh wow. I came back to xanga.. and I went to a blog ring.. and I didn’t realize the change, so I felt a little lost when I went to the blogring. It’s like “whoa, where am i”. And then I realized I was in a blogring. Yup.
Really really really cool. I like that you picked Souxie’s blog as your example.
Thanks, guys!
the new blogring thing isn’t quite there yet…updates don’t show up at all. But, I like the layout. I guess I’ll get used to it. I would appreciate having a time stamp, so we know when people update, and not just the date of their updates. Those of us who check regularly appreciate that feature. Hope you’re reading these comments, and making the corrections — especially to the fact that updates aren’t showing up! that’s a boo-boo that needs attention ASAP! Thanks! Keep up the good work!
thanks alot!
thanks for the update!
I like being able to see the pics in the blogring, but for gosh darn sake, please DEFAULT THEM TO RECENTLY UPDATED SITES AND UPDATE THEM FASTER. Why give the newbies the attention all of the sudden? I’m attention deprived, dammit (nah… yet, aren’t we all?).
WOW Y’ALL ROCK A LOT !HAHAHAHHA
SERIOUSLY XANGA JUST KEEPS GETTING COOLER AND COOLER AND I KEEP TELLING EVERYONE TO JOIN HAhAhahA 
maybe i’ll even get premium soon…
The blogs are not updating. The dates are stuck two days ago, and are not changing.
Also, it would be better to set the default tab to “most recently updated” instead of “join date,” since that is annoying. I’m sure most people click on blogs based on who has updated most recently, not when they joined.
But neat feature with the pictures showing up on the blogring lists.
Seeing that you have some authority in Xanga, I ask you for some “directions”.
I wish to put every single post on private, but do not want to spend hours clicking my over 200 posts. Is there, even, an option?
Kryss.
thanx soooooo much!
hey—i’m part of the wellesley blogring, and even though friends are updating, its not moving the newly updated blogs to the top of the list in the “recently updated” tab. it’s stayed the same since you guys changed the format…what gives?
thanks!
im lovin the new changes
WHAT THE FUK, I THOUGHT XANGA WOULD BE A COOL WAY TO EXPRESS YOURSELF BUT GODDAM THIS SHYT SUX!
i agree defaulting to ‘recently updated’ tab would be more convenient. and i also dislike this behavior where the list is not resorted when an update occurs. also, it would be nice if the blogring page listed time of last update (as well as date) – like it did before.
perfect.
you guys r da best..<33*
i dig it
fantastic
i love the new interface.. BUT…
my blogring isn’t updating like it should.
it says no one has updated in a day I KNOW that is incorrect
thank you guys for all your hard work.
The new layout is great, i love how the pictures are added. Though there is a problem my updated xanga is never showing up as updated, plus if new updated was the default that be so much better =] Other wise great work!
yay! more blogrings!
i like the changes. and thanks A TON for letting us non-premium members have more than 4 blogrings. i was going crazy with blogring lust and envy.
thank you so much. this was such a cool change!
i just wanaa let u know that u cant see when ppl update… but it does look very pretty. please fix it so when u click on the newly updated u can see the ppl who have actually updated.. my friend updated and appered in my subscriptions. but didnt show up on the newly updated section for blogrings.
Hey, that’s cool. But it would be better if the Newly Updated was the default page, it’ll make it much easier.
It was a pleasant surprise to see people’s faces on the blogs. Thanks for that. But is there a way to make the Recent Updates my default option to view xangas?
Just FYI, the blogrings are messed up, or at least the one entitled “HPHS”. When you go to sort by “recently updated” it does not show the last time someone updated, ever since the unpgrade. For example, I updated today, but it didn’t go to the top of the page and it says the last time I updated was 5-11-04.
this is great but the newly updated sorting thingy is kinda messed up for me………………//////
i like the old version better… =(
Getting WARMER…how about making Xanga BASIC work???
The blogring isnt registering the fac that I updated my site. Wassupwiddat?
uuummm… kool?
i wish there was a way to kick people out of blogrings, or make private ones that u have to be invited to join
How come the blogring’s latest updated organization doesn’t work? My friend updated yesterday and it still says it was last updated 4 days ago.
It looks good, but how about having the “by latest update” section be the first thing you see like in the old style (instead of “by join date”).
thank you so much! I’ve always wanted to join more than 4 blogrings. Thanks!
Same song 87th verse… I miss the immediate Recently Udated, and I’d like the default view to be the Recently Updated too, rather than the join date.
Love the addition of the profile pic to the ring page tho!
OMG I LOVE THE PICTURES!!!!!!!
Erm… I think there’s some error in the newly updated section. I updated my site 5 minutes ago, and in my blogring it says last update 5/12. Otherwise, cool picture thing.
the recently updated column doesn’t work and the date where it says last updated isn’t working either =/
The blogring system, I believed, was to be a simple way to consolidate a group of people with similar interests, or went to the same school, etc. This is completely making the whole blogrings extremely convoluted. I’m trying to access my blogring friends in “recently updated,” and it’s saying that all of my blogring friends haven’t updated since May 12th, and I haven’t updated since May 11. I know this to not be the case. I don’t know whether it’s a bug or not, but my criticism is still the same: It’s way too intricate for a system that I thought was to be simple.
i love the blogring profile pic. addition.
great job guys!
The recently Updated deal isn’t working too well. It would also be really sweet if it defaulted to “Recently updated” as opposed to “join date”…
can you set it by default on order by “most recently updated” i find it to be 25% more of a hassel to have to click on it to reorder it..
it`s nice but now i can join blogrings. I click the “join this blogring” link but it`s not workin. can someone help me?
i like the more blogrings but the people who join now & get free trials get to keep all of them while people who joinned a while ago who already had their free trial can’t. also, I don’t like having to click the newest they should still go their and the newest updated aren’t updating like they should
this is kool
Like the new layout, but there’s a HUGE bug with the updates in blogrings
i liked it better before- the layout i mean. but the more blog joining thing was cooool =)
merci beaucoup!
Is there any way that you can make the blogrings display the blogs in the order which they were last updated by default. Having people listed in the order that they joined the ring by default is not helpful.
cool!!!
I like the new blogrings, but I agree that the default should be recently updated, and on that page, they are not updating right. But, the new look is cool!
love the new look!!!!
um……… i cant join blogs now.
nice new blogring thingy but when u click recently updated, it doesnt show the most recent
yeah, the blogring thing is hott…it seems like it’s not taking any updates after the relaunch…it’s stuck on the 13th.
I think there is an error. I updated but the same people have been listed as recently updated for the last three days! It’s a cool idea, but it doesn’t work.
oh thats sooo cool thnx
nice job! =]
but, it’s sorta annoying to have to click “recently updated” when browsing through a blogring… and the “recently updated” list isn’t really… um… ”recently updated”.. the list stays exactly the same and doesn’t seem to show the xangas of people who have newly updated their xanga..
but thanks a lot anyways!.. and keep up the great work!! =]
um… im confused… where have all the descriptions of the blogrings gone?? It’s great that we can join 8 now! But how can I know which ones to chose if there aren’t any descriptions any more??
it seems to me that the blogrings do not update the “site updated” correctly anymore. Nor do they seem to be able to sort themselves by update either – it seems that the blogrings are frozen in their current place whether or not an update occurs.
who r u
who r u
i like the new look but i have several problems with it. 1) I can’t see the time that a xangan updated 2) I cant see the description of the blogring 3) I now have to click the Recently updated tab to see who updated recently, i didn’t have to do that before, now
but i do like the profile pics showing up
wow, this is really kOol! before, it was so haRd pickin only 4 blogrings…but nOw, jeez…now i can join 8. oh yeah! im lOvin it!! u guys rOck!
<>
by the way, another good addition would be the ability to select which letter of the alphabet you want to look at/which page number you want to look at when browsing blogrings. it’s not fair to have to go through page after page looking for a certain letter.
glitch with the blog ring….can’t join nor seeing the latest updates.
why don’t i see the descriptions to these blogrings?
for some reason the blogring doesn’t stay updated correctly. in one of my blogrings that i check other people’s pages in daily, the order of the newly updated pages has remained the same for a couple of days… and lots of people have updated since then, so it’s not working out. fix it please
i like to keep informed with my friends. other than that, the profile pics are cute when you can see them in the blogrings, and yay for being able to join up to 8 at one time!
Windows sucks!
Everybody has their panties in a twist over this “recently updated” thing and, personally, I could care less. The two things that are at the forefront of my mind right now are this:
1. Where did the blogring descriptions go?!?!? For some, the desciptions were kinda crucial in knowing what the hell you were joining.
2. Damn, kids, learn how to spell. Proper spelling, grammar and punctuation are your FRIENDS. They LOVE YOU. Please, get offline and pick up a textbook.
IT’S NOT SHOWING THE LASTEST UPDATES!!!! COULD YOU PLEASE FIX IT?!!!!!!
THANKS!!!!!!
My blogring description seems to be deleted. Will this be restored?
-b[X]
Thanks for the extra blogrings!
awesome =D
yes! thanks!
k00l
If you guys could make “Newly Updated” the default instead of “Joined” then it’d be perfect.
Whoot for the Xanga Team!
waiiit.. i tried to join another blogring but it didnt work..
nice change for the blogring! but i juz want to say tht…the order for the blogring member is not update!! (i mean if i choose the mode “recently updated”..even there is someone has already update..her xanga site doesn’t appear at the top of the list!
anyway, thx for the change*
phoebe
I like it it looks sweet!
i could not JOIN ANY BLOGRING!
the new blogring thingys you guys made..when u go to recently updated, its the same thing it doesn’t even show who updated for one of my blogrings
Um… I can’t join any blogrings.
Maybe you can help me sort out this problem
why don’t the newly updated ones get added back to the top?????????????
I absolutely hate the fact that old blogring members are at the bottom and the newest members at the top. It shouldn’t be that way.
ahh i am so glad i can join more blogrings now!!! 4 was just not enough… thanks for constantly improving xanga, everyone appreciates it!
Windows sucks!
Haha, I concur.
However it REALLY is annoying to not be able to see who has updated recently, although being able to join more rings is nice.
Really though, why join more if you’d never know who is recently updated?
8 blogrings now! That’s better then the pictures IMO
Please fix the recently updated problem. Everything else is great.
Sweeet! You guys rock! Thanks for all the hard work!
yeah, it was a nice try, but there are too many bugs. the recently updated page doesn’t update, it hasn’t put on updates for 2 days…the pictures while awesome looking, take way to long to load for some reason, and it is pretty annoying to have to click the “recently updated” tab. make that default. personally, i think the old way was better.
thanks so much!!!
i gave two props, and i stand by them, but whats wrong with “newly updated” under the blogrings? it definitely does not show newly updated blogs.
congrat on the engagement… =)
looks uber fabu but i cant join anything and i only have 3 blogrings…help???? yesss pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee! lol thanks ciao
Yeah, definitely make newly updated that default. And also I liked it when it said what day and TIME they updated.
You suck. Why did you have to mess it up. Before it was 1000 times better. Now it’s a shitty mess. God, how long is it going to take to fix this crap?
On my blogring, the newly updated list has not been updated for two days…is anyone else having this problem?
thank you SO MUCH! i hate having to leave a blogring every time i want to join another one just because of the 4-ring limit. this is great!
I really like the new format, but I do have one favor to ask. If it’s not too big a hassle, could you please fix the screen so the updated blogs go to the top? It was like that before you changed it, and it’s a real pain to have to sift through all the blogs to find an updated one. Thanks.
By the way…I’m trying to do a school project on the evolution of the weblog and I was wondering if you and your colleagues could tell me a little about Xanga’s history. It would be greatly appreciated.
omg john wat happened to toopwerful.com ? its sayid theres an eror!
yeah i like how the blogrings look, but they are not updating n e more, una problema!!!!
hey, i just have one quick question. why is the “last updated” page not updating itself? in all of my blogrings, the “last updated” list hasn’t changed since blogrings came back up — and plenty of xangas in the blogrings have been updated. is this going to be a permanent problem, or is it being resolved?
good job on everything else, though — the new interface looks amazing
Not to happy with the changes, maybe still a work in progress? would be nice if newly updated was 1) actually showing who was newly updated, which it doesn’t and 2) the default setting, that’s the one that’s more helpful and it’s now not all that helpful.
also the description was erased and I had to reenter it. I don’t mind the changes, but when they screw things up, it’s hard to be grateful, ya dig?
O MY GOSH!!! REALLY? WOW THASS SOO COOL!!!
why cant i join any blogrings. i tried but it wont let me join them. it doesnt add me
8 Blogrings…datz wuz up! ^_^ but, when i update it doesnt automatically change the date when i look on the blogrings list. like today, i updated ‘n it still says that the last time i updated was the 13th. yeah. im sure u guyz will fix dat. ;D
well I love the fact that we can join up to 8 rings now. kudos to you for that but I’m rather disappointed that we can’t read the descriptions anymore. the only description it gives is the title. I noticed this when I was looking for a specific Breakfast Club blogring and couldnt pick which one it was cuz their arent any descriptions anymore
wow ! how cool is that ! thanks a bunch~ it helps in a way =]
yeah, the pics are pretty thats great, but it doesnt put me at the top of “recently updated” even though i’ve updated like twice these past few days!!!
hey … recently updates does not um .. update … at least not since 5/13/2004
nice job. you guys should definitely make the ‘newly updated’ section the default. and also, it doesn’t seem to be working… people in some of the blogrings are updating (lee bamas) but it is not showing up on the ‘newly updated’ section.
yay for pretty blog rings! =D
um, the recently updated doesn’t show the recently updated.. but the rest seems to be fine…
As many more before me has said, need to get that last updated bug fixed
Really awesome, guys!
The only problem with the new blogrings is that when you update it it doesn’t always show up in the blogring. It’s very annoying.
yeah, even when you click on the update part of the blogring, i can’t see who actually updated, and who didn’t, because its a bug or something. please fix that error, and it will be cool.
Uh yea… the updating thing… what the..
You guys did a good job, the problem is though that if you resently update, your name doesn’t get stored back to the top. Also, it would be cool if the default setting could be “resently updated”, its annoying to have to push click on it when I go into my blogrings.
hey yeah so the recently updated thing is not working at all. at least mine isn’t. it’s still stuck on the most recently updated ones as being from the 13th. and yes i’d also like the first thing i see when i click on my blog ring page is the most recently updated, not the newest joined. thankz for the help
its kewl. but it would be nice if you could keep it at one setting instead of having to press recently updated each time. also when i update it doesn’t update in my blogrings
hey the new bloglist looks great but theres a problem when you click to see who posted last the list just appears the same as before…can you fix this please?
Thanks
the only thing i dont like is that the blogring description has gone…it only shows the name of the blogring…i hope you guys can fix that…other than that…good job!!
There is a problem. It doesn’t show that we updated. You gotta fix that. I love the new feature though
I just got a new layout and the way that it is set up it doesnt show like the link to my feedback log and stuff.. do you know how i could get to my feedback log without changing my layout??
It’s awesome
wow thx for the update. that is such a good idea. keep up the good work.
-cat
Umm I can’t seem to join any blogrings and I only have 3. Can someone help me?
thats cool =)..more blogrings here i come..lol
recently updated doesnt work
i like what you did w/the blogrings. i have a suggestion for something else however, and i wasnt sure where to post it so here it is.
basically every single person in my school knows what xanga is, and has one so they can read others, or just use it like its supposed to be used. i hate the fact that they can read it, and i hate that i cant have a ‘friends only’ journal like livejournal. i know i can have protected entries, but what happens if i want more than 15 people to be able to read it? id like it if you added something like livejournal’s ‘friends only’ thanks.
yea thats nice, thanks man..
Hmm – too many comments, so I’m not sure if this one has been made already (if so, apologies for the repeat) - but I noticed that the “recently updated” sort option isn’t picking up updates? (e.g. all of the blogrings I’ve visited only track updates until 5/13 and nothing after that).
the blogrings dont tell when someone updates anymore..
but the pics are pretty.
i hate this new blogring thing, it has more bugs than the last one.
why aren’t the most recently updated at the top of the list?
“newly updated” isn’t really newly updating!!
(and it’d be nice if it could be the default)
thanks. =]
ok, apparently we’re havin’ technical difficulties here. the “recently updated” list doesn’t update at all!! it’s really cool to have the profile pictures showing, but what’s the point of all these changes if they don’t work?
the other blogring list format was better (it worked, anyway). y’all do a fantastic job! but hey, if it’s not broken, why fix it?
by the way, thanks for the extra blogrings!
~janAe
I can’t join any blogrings either, like some people mentioned above. I like how you’re trying to make Xanga a better place, but sometimes it’s just better to leave things the way they were.
Yeah there are a few bugs that you guys need to fix with the blogring thing. But the new blogring thing looks pretty cool.
this is so great.
only thing is, it doesn’t tell me who the most recently updated are. it hasn’t changed since you upgraded them… and i’m dead sure people have updated since then!
YOU ERASED THE DESCRIPTIONS. THE RINGLEADERS HAVE TO TYPE IT OVER.
Other than that, the profile pics are a great idea. We’ll be more interested in each other this way.
Yeah, the blogrings (or at least some of them, anyway) are not updating their lists of recently updated Xangas!
dude, new blogring changes are cool, but it doesnt update the list whenever someone updates after 5/13/04. so if someone updated today it wouldnt even show and keeps the date that the person last updated
Hi! I just wanted to let you know…
The whole leaving/joining new blogring process got a lot more complicated. When I change blogrings, I have to sign back in to xanga, find the blogring I want to leave, leave, find the new blogring I want to join, and then join that. The old way took me only 3 clicks.
Also could you restore the descriptions or if you can’t, make an announcement telling ringleaders they need to write a new decription? I find them rather crucial…
But I loves the pics and I love the 8 blogrings. Keep up the great work!
“newly updated” should be the default.
i can’t join anymore blogrings, and i’m only in 3.
and its not showing if people updated. It stopped at 5/13/03
you may not get as far as my comment, but there is one thing that seems to be a problem with the new blogrings. for some reason it keeps saying i last updated my site a month ago, when i actually update frequently. it doesnt seem to recognize updates, even if i organize members by “recenly updated”. i don’t know why this is but it would be nice if the problem was remedied. thanks.
i update my site..and when i go to my blogring…it doesnt show my name on the top of the blogring..is there like an error..cuz i want to know who has updated their page on my blogring…..could u guys pls fix….thanks
i cant join another blogring and im only in 3…
YESSS… i love it, but please have it default on RECENTLY UPDATED.
i also updated my site and the blogring did not register my update
its not showing any updates, since the time right b4 we updated, b4 u changed the blogrings, whether it be 4/15 or 5/12 or 5/13, its not showing that we updated today, or yesterday…and theres no timestamps, and it needs to be defaulted to RECENTLY UPDATED, seriously, i mean its rediculous, but i do like the pictures being on there, good job with that.
It’s not showing any updates and I can’t seem to join any other blogrings.
why the fuck i can not join my blogring again i want to join my old blogrings shit you better fix this PROBLEM
thanks! i really wanted to be in more than 4 blogrings before..so yeah..thanks again
looks awesome.. keep it up
its true about the recently updated thing.. its kind of annoying to not have them in order
i like what you did with the user pictures, but you left a major bug. the blogrings don’t update correctly. they don’t show they latest updated blogs.
OH MY GOSH. 8 blogrings? This is AWESOME!
I was just thinking the other day, “dang I want to join this blogring…”. So now I will. 
Thanks guys!
I have a question:
Why was my friend’s account [gothicnazi and gothicnazi88] get shut down…I know she had a lot of messed up stuff on the first one, but there wasnt anything offensive on the second one…. Also my friend Adolf_Hitler666 got shut down…I find this to be a violation of freedom of speach and an injustice…
Thanks for your time!
i like it very much, but the newly updated section isn’t updating!!!
it’s a good job and everything, but the newly updated will not refresh. pleaseee try to fix that =D thanksssss
the thing with like the most recent updates isn’t working why??? i can’t read anyones xanga thats up to date!!!!!
it kind of gets annoy to keep clickin back to recent updated and when i update da name doesnt show.
`
There seems to be a bug still in the new blogring
process.
And what is the bug ?
When I update my site with a new entry -
It does not show in the blogring where I reside
as being updated.
It still says that the date of my last update
is 5/13/04 – when in fact I have submitted a
new article on 5/15/04.
Why is it not updating on my blogrings that I
belong to.
It looks like everyone is having the same trouble.
Thanks.
`
its all good….except when you click the recently updated tab….it doesnt show the most recently updated one
new blogrings = teh suck
Aaah yes, being able to join more blogrings is something I’ve been waiting for for a long time, awesome!
theres something wrong with the newly updated thing… u guys gonna fix it?
It looks pretty, but it doesn’t work – at least with the ‘recently updated’ portion. It just doesn’t unpate – but I’m sure you guys will get that fixed.
Also, its my personal opinion that the ‘recently updated’ portion should be set as default. Usually when people check blogrings, they check to see if their friends have updated or whatnot. Of course you can still do that right now, but at the same time, in level of priority – I think that that is why most people check blogrings, and thus naturally, should be set default.
That’s just my opinion though.
i like the new profile pics feature…
i like the new profile pics feature…
you should let people reject people from blogrings.
Yay Xanga! Good work
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. i have joined two blogrings today in honor of you hardworking xanga people [: i finally go to rejoin a blogring i had to leave before cuz i didnt have enough spots for another blogring! and i’m totally diggin` the new profile pix feature. props to you guys
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. i have joined two blogrings today in honor of you hardworking xanga people [: i finally go to rejoin a blogring i had to leave before cuz i didnt have enough spots for another blogring! and i’m totally diggin` the new profile pix feature. props to you guys
i have a problem but it doesn’t have anything to do with the blogrings — some of the people i’ve subscribed have not turned up on my subscriptions list.. why is that? and could you fix it if it’s an error? thanks !
hey thanks for fixing the features and all but I have one comment. I think there’s something wrong w/them. if you go to a blogring and look up its members and go to the “recently updated” section, it doesn’t work. my last update was today, 5/15 and everyone’s xanga, including mine has their last update on 5/13, so I think the updates aren’t being recorded or something. just something i thought might need a little fixing. I hope you actually read this comment and try to fix it, cuz who has the time to read all 255 comments right? well hope you do get all the way down here and try to fix the problem. thanx again!
Can we have a message on if you’re fixing the “recently updated” section? I know in the NMU PEOPLE group they’re all stuck on 5/13/04.
i do have a bit of an issue with the new blogrings. it doesn’t update the the current date that everyone updated. Mine still says I last updated May 11 when I just updated a few hours ago. Can you do anything to fix it!!!?
The updated section is NOT working at all.
change it back, nothing works.
it decimated all blogrings with chinese descriptions…
Member Since: 1/22/2000
its on my birthday!!!!!!!! LOLS
my blogrings list is not refreshing…. when people update, and I click on “Recently Updated” it does not change to reflect the newly updated order
“Newly Updated” should be the default.
Also, the list on “updated” isn’t updating.
y can’t i join more than 4 blogrings???
I just noticed recently that the blogring isn’t updating the lists of xangas. Some mistake?
8 blogrings! awesome! good job john!
the recently updated list is not working!!! its very irritating..
thank you very much dudes
hey hey, i see that amny have commented on this, but the “recently updated” section seems to go by 5/13 being “recent” =P it’d be nice if that were fixed. thanks a lot!
yeah love the new blogrings but kinda pointless when they aren’t updating correctly
thanks so much
Yay, I like it! Thank you!
I STILL CAN’T JOIN ANY BLOGRINGS!!!!!! LET ME JOIN BLOGRINGS!!!!! HELP ME OUT!!!!!!
it’s really nice but then the recently updated isn’t recently updated – so it’s a little messed up. the layout is cool though.
the newly updated doesn’t actually show newly updated… i jus updated mine n i’m still in the middle of the list… def make newly updated the default… as long it’s accurate…
Thank you for keeping Xanga up. It must be a hassle to deal with all these emails and personal problems. Good luck to you all!
hey i wuz juss wunderin where every 1 gets tha costom header codes and shit….im confused…do u think u can fill me in?
thx
.::charlotte::.
I think the changes are great, but I can’t join a blogring now. Judging from other comments neither can a lot of other people. Might wanna look into that.
WHY DONT YOU PEOPLE STOP POSTING STUFF LIKE “OMG THANKS 8 BLOGRINGS LOLOLOL” BEFORE YOU REALIZE THAT THE NEW SYSTEM IS A BLASPHEMY TO EVERYTHING WE HOLD DEAR, WE MAY AS WELL BE USING BLOGGER.COM NOW
Excellent work on the new layout however there is an error in the newly updated code somewhere which is preventing the most recently updated xanga from moving to the top of the “Recently Updated” list. It appears you uploaded the files without testing them enough, no worries though, i am sure the mistake is relatively easy to fix. I dont much experience with .aspx files or i would have offered my advice.
Essentially, when i tested the new blogring service by updating my xanga, i did not move to the top, but stayed where i was. That almost nulls the best part of a blogring alltogethor.
Also, it would be extremly handy if the default listings on the main page for each blogring were changed to “Recently Updated” instead of “Join Date”, becuase no one really cares how recently someone joined a blogring, but more as to when anyone posted previously. It really just puts unnessesary strain on your bandwith by making everyone load an extra page for no reason at all.
Also, add the times along with the dates of the previous update, it would make the blogring experience more helpful and fun.
I know you probably didnt read but thanks anyway.
awesome! xanga people make me happy! <3
Thanks.
theres an error, when you click “updated recently” it doesnt show the ones updated from the 5/13 and beyond fix it…
oh that makes sense now. That’s so cool about the profile pictrue.
Im beginning to wonder what exactly is so great about paying for Xanga Premium. The only difference between the free account and the Premium account seems to be more control over your page layout and a larger box to write in. Doesn’t $25 USD seem a bit much?? Most people only change their page once in a blue moon I believe.
Secondly, the new blogrings look better but I would prefer if the default option was on “Newly Updated” rather than join date. I am unlucky enough to now see my ex-bf’s page everytime I go onto the blogring since he joined early on but never updates. As well, it just doesn’t quite seem fair that someone who never updates gets more air time on the first viewed page than someone who updates a lot.
Just my two cents. Thanks
yayayayay! GO XANGA!
Hey! I really like what you did with new blogring layout! I basically found the same problem everyone else did. The newly updated tab doesn’t show the newly updated xangas. It’s just stuck on the 13th or some day around there. I also have a request to keep the newly updated tab open whenever I go look in the blogring section too. Thank you for the new updates though!! It’s so much more convenient!
I really like that the defualt for blogrings is now date joined, and not recently updated. Also, the profile pics are great! Keep rockin’!
W0ot! More blogrings! -hugs-
Megz<33
yay so i can be a part of multiple blogrings now! except for everytime i TRY to join a blogring by clicking on the “join this blogring!” the page just reloads, and i am not a member…. and it is well, annoying. help?
nice!
You guys did a very nice job and they look very nice but I would like to suggest that newly updated was the defualt becuase people use that most and also.. I dont know if you have realize it but there is a mawfunction.. the thing doesn’t show the right dates for updates and all ttyl thanks for reading my comment
-EM-
thank you SO much!!!! I always hated not beign able to be in every group i wanted, and the pictures are VERY cool! Good job and thanks again!~e
how come i cant see anything after 5/13/04?
I love you John! YAY!
^-^ thankie~!!
Just to say that my “Newly Updated” page status didn’t change after I updated my page. I know lots of others seem to have had this problem.
And please make the default “Newly Updated”… it’s getting really annoying already with it on “Join Date” and it hasn’t even been up a week yet.
Generally good job though. I know I commented before somewhere saying something similar.
On the blogrings, it says i haven’t updated since 4/27/04, but i have. what going on?
i like it! except, i hope you find a way so that the recently updated part actually SHOWS the most recently updated.. its frozen on may 13 at the time you did the change.
Bugs report:
The new blogring interface did not display Chinese Characters correctly in the blogring member’s description part.
thanks a lot, what a great job u’ve done!
You suck a lot. It is so messed up. xanga officially sucks now.
This is awsome! Thanks guys!
Yeah like some other people have said there is a problem w/ the new blogring. You always have to click on the Newly Updated thing and it doesnt show which ones have been updated at all…Its bullshit. Can You please try to fix it?
Not sure if this is related, but i’ve been trying to add a pic to my site like i have done a zillion times before and its telling me the service is unavailable? Is it me? *chuckles*
Wow, you guys are f’in amazing…
when is this problem gonna be fixed? i still can’t join any blogrings, and the recently updated bug is getting on my nerves.
I like the idea…
but how come people don’t move up when they updated?!
it’s the 16th May today…but the blogrings still say the 13th???
please fix it???
thanks
The new Blogrings are a disaster, taking away pretty much most people’s main source of new visitors. Not only should the ‘newly updated’ list be the default page, they should actually work. Instead, the dates are all messed up, and you can’t tell who has new content or not. Adding the profile pictures might be a neat cosmetic, but it has less value than the entries themselves. How about providing a 100 word sample of the newest entry on a page? Either that, or revert to the old defaults.
I don’t really care much for the changes, especially because it has caused an inconvenience with the recently updated. Seeing as how the recently updated is now no longer the default and realy updated ones do not go to the top like they should. but i guess it is pleasant to look at…
I like the layout, but the recently updated isn’t updating like it should, and I liked it defaulting to that.
yay more blogrings! you guys are cool <3
pleasepleaseplease get the blogrings working again. I’m seeing a lot of “last updated 5/13″, but a lot of updates have been more recent. and it’d be nice if we could see times and recently updated on top, but getting them working is a higher priority. besides that, they look nice! thanx for all the hard work!
PROBLEM….. i just wrote in my xanga this morning and on the blogsite that im a part of, is says that i havn’t written in it for days. i organize my blogring by the order of who wrote in tehre xanga last. besides that, i think u did a gr8 job.
Much luv *Mohammed Emad Xsifear Akhtar IV
You guys still have some bugs with the updating section. I’m guessing they’re supposed to be listed from newly updated to the older ones, but they’re not and they’re basicly randomly listed for that section.
It looks cool though, but yeah… it’s a bug. ;O
i think its fixed now
awesome layout! I like how you guys did it. but there is a problem indeed with the recently updated page. it doesn’t show anyone really updating even though they did. It also gets annoying that you have to click on recently updated all the time. =|
The newly updated memebers in the blog ring are not getting listed first.
NO IT IS NOT FIXED. YOU HAVE HAD THREE DAYS. HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE MESSED WITH IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. XANGA SUCKS SO MUCH NOW. I THINK I MAY SWITCH TO SOMETHING ELSE. GOODBYE.
THANK U SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! i can join more blogrings now!!!!! yay!!!! thnk u thnk u thnk u!!!!!
It just doesnt tell you when someone updates..Like, If u click on recently updated, The list is in the exact same order as it was on thursday, eventho people have updated. It says i havent updated since the 12th. When i have updated 3 times since then.,
There seems to be a problem with it.
The listings in the rings don’t update, they just list the same info day after day.
ooh cool..but yeah i read a couple comments before, the recently updated part is..stuck. lots updated but i noticed it didn’t change. and the default should be recently updated, not joined. but the picture thing is cool i guess
the recently updated section doesnt work. and it’s not set as default. REALLY ANNOYING.
Awesome update =D
But there are two 2 things I’m concerned about.
1) When I view the blog as recent update, nothing changes. I’ve upated twice but the order remains the same since 5/12/04. So I’m clueless who updated or not.
2) Most people would like the default view of the blog to be at recent updates instead of Joined Date. Kinda bugs us that we have to click on Recent Update everytime.
If you change these little things then it’ll be perfected =D
there is still a problem with the newly updated part of the blogrings. it’s not updating when ppl update. well at least for mine it isn’t.
it doesnt update when people update their xanga.. switch it back
ok im really confused on how to make a xanga and all the codes n stuff i need help!!!
woah WAY COOL!! I CAN JOIN LOTS AND LOTS OF BLOG RINGS NOW!
it’s cool that abt the interface + the more rings u could join but u seriously have to do sth with the list. it’s all wrong!!!! esp in the recently updated list! it doesnt update
one word…
SWEET!
Awesome.
That is just awesome that we can join 8 blogrings now. Good job
However, like many have said, *please* fix the ‘newly updated’ section so it actually gets updated, and make it the default section on the blogring page. That would rock.
hello? can you at least say “we’re working on it” or something? the blogrings were fine before. now the only important thing, the “recently updated” part, doesn’t work.
i think you messed it up, some blog rings dont update the recent updated section
I love the profile pix thing! it makes things more interesting! and thanks for giving more blogrings!
It no longer orders by most recent update.
Its cactus. Can’t see updates. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
thx so mucho for evrything!!!!
congrats….with regards to other “stuff.” wink wink
hey, nice. But I dont think the blogrings work properly yet.The recently updated list isnt accurate. I hope y’all can fix it. Good job though.
hey man i noe u did alot of hard work but the new 1 is wack….it doesn’t show an update on any of my friend’s xanga……but i do like teh joinin 8 blog thing…
THE LAYOUT IS GREAT BUT IT IS NOT AS USER FRIENDLY I AM SORRY BUT IS IT JUST ME THAT THINKS THE “RECENTLY UPDATED” LIST IS NOT WORKING?
My account never appears as “updated”. I’m constantly left at “last updated – 5/6/04″ even though Ive updated many times since then. It’s annoying to be burried at the bottom of blogrings where no one ever reads.
just wanna let you know that the Alanis & the Xanga Community is an AWESOME idea!!.. Free songs for our xangas, and it’s a great one too! I definitely would look further into her album now.
Hi, im Jessenia.
Do you know what?, I like this site especially the picture, but, why didn’t put your photo?, that’s better, right?, oki doki, bye……….
hmm..on the blogring..the date doesnt update..when people update their page..like i blog’d on the 15th but the date still shows the 13th..so yah..jus to let u know..en yah..good job guys..
Thanks for fixing the “recently updated” sorting tab!
Can you make it so we can have a separate picture devoted to being a thumnail for when our blog is presented on the blogring list? I know this is more work…
yea it takes a while for them to update…
Random props. Just kidding, love the new updates.
you stomped out the “recently updated” bug. good job and thanks.
coolio!
Thanks for letting us join more blogrings. Thats soo totaly sweet!! you guys ROCK!
http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=lastmeasure
That person is giving out the most terrible link ever. Please do something! *Shanna*
?
i am glad
yay! more blogrings! <3
&&
thanks for allowing 8!!! awesome! and heart the picture idea!!!!!
Now you tell me! Anyways nice job John!
Well done!!
i love the new blorgring features.
thanks.
Hey, can you help me? I was trying to find someone @ xanga who can either teach me how to delete a comment I left on someone’s site. If that’s not at all possible, can xanga delete a comment from the site uberdragonchick? I didn’t mean to leave a comment with that account, and it’s important that she doesn’t see it.
kewl deal. any word on the new and improved rotating profile pics?
GREAT~~~~
oh you should make there be profile pics when comments are made on other’s sites. that’d be cool
Xanga is the best, and it just keeps getting better and better
Awesome! I’ve always wanted to be able to join more blogrings!
LOTS OF BUGS!
looks good, but no longer accurately updates who has updated recently, please list the first panel as recently updated and not by joined date because most of us don’t care when the others joined but would like to read the most recently updated ones
Yee haaa!
Now maybe I’ll finally get some company.
kool i like them
thanks for the work on the blogrings
but….
could you pleas let us reorder our posts
from first to last
instead of
last to first
for people who write storys
this would be helpful
I have a new idea for the blogrings… I figure, you should have more things specificly available for those in a certain blogring. For example, if I start a blog ring, let’s just say, Nu Poets, why not have it where we can write post only for those in our specific blogring (maybe through the protected post feature). Ya know? I was also wondering if through protected post, we can have a list of different protect list so we don’t have to change it all the time depending on the content, ya know? I’m a premium user and these are features i’d definately like to see if I’m to renew my status. Thanks for listening to our ideas
…
I didn’t think it was possible, but Xanga’s method of joining new blogrings has gotten more inconvenient (to put it nicely) and downright retarded (to put it not-so-nicely)
When one attempts to join a new blogring after having reached the 8 blogring limit, one is asked to sign in. OK fine.
Then one leaves one of his/her blogrings. OK fine.
Then (why you guys chose to do this I can’t figure out) INSTEAD of going directly to the blogring one wanted to join, one is sent to the MAIN blogring directory….
WHY?!
Can you fix or change this?
And why don’t you guys have an official way of being contacted with complaints or suggestions? Something like a Help Desk. Has that ever occurred to you people?
you’re sexy!!
YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
that is just AWESOME; thanks guys. it’d be nice if users were allowed to set the member list so it’s sorted by update by default. did that even make sense? whatever. nice interface too!
woohoo!
i like the prfile search
reall good job…I LOVE IT THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU you guys actuallyare awesome
Yeaa!!! w00t!
look! they listened! updated is default! yay! thank you!
It looks neater, yeah, I hate how you get all those extra web hits from searching from a blogring. IWhat was wrong with the old system?
sup this is cool i understand
i like sum1fun.com it has nice music
sry for no eprops lol can yea hit me back??
omg! sweetness! i happy!
i gave u one u cook, only one, im populater
FEATURED CONTENT: its just plain messed up. I always get a not available at this time page and if not that, it acts like its loading but quivers and wavers and hems and haws and never loads in. It isn’t my computer, Im big and Im fast and Im hooked to cable. Anyway, I can’t remember when I was able to access featured content. I kind of gave up on it then tried again today and the same problem.
Good luck guys. Actually, I think the program is highly sophisticated. I’d like to do a blog about Xanga and exactly what it entails, how many blog actively and more.
Xanga is heaven. Thanks
-Circe
the interface is good, but i would much prefer being able to set it to come up on the recently updated tab when i load the page
its just really inconvenient to sit there & open up the other tabmaybe set the default as the recently updated or maybe use a cookie setting, perhaps?
thank you SOO MUCHHH :]
son__of__god
that guys making really rude comments it really offends me =/
YES!!!! u guys rule! now i can join more blogrings!!! weeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
Make it 10 for the paying people!
How do I delete an account? ;(

thats really helpful for us =) thanks
wow no wonder i went to this girl’s xanqa she had 8 blogrings !!! lols neawis thx for doing that! u guys are the bomb! thats y i never leave to go to http://www.blogger.com !! ^___^
my xanga isn’t working please help me fix it!!!
Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yea good and I like it!
Can someone answer me this: Did I miss the memo or something that took away my ability to put what Im reading, watching or listening to on my entries? Itd be really helpful. Thanks.
I’m wondering why my Xtools won’t come up under Premium. Just the regular. My site had a comment about a virus and a whole lot of racial filth added.
Have you been hacked? Have I?
Just curious… I know that it’s happened recently elsewhere on Xanga so I’m of course wondering if it’s now happened to me.
Anyway……….. I do hope that you find out something and let us know when you do. I’d really like to post a blog but after the comment left this morning I’m not posting anything unless it’s protected.
AprilStorm
Is there a reason why my marquee’s aren’t working? Maybe it’s just the code I’m using? I dunno. More bugs?
hey could you give me some images for the falling images script? i got the script to work but no matter what image i use or where i get it from it just shows a boxed ‘x’. could you tell me hoe and where i can get maybe a snowflake ir heart image? it would be greatly appreciated. tank you!
Sara
I have a suggestion. There are certain people I would like to see certain protected posts. Is there a way (or have you already) to modify your protected posts lists for each entry?
I don’t know if it’s already a premium feature, but if it is I may have to cough up the $4 a month.
You guys are doing a fantastic job. Keep up the good work.
me toooo
love it.
Hi, I can’t sign into my xanga. When I try signing into my xanga, this page comes up saying “You found a bug”. What should I do? Can I ever get back into my xanga again? =(
Thank you.
it keeps saying “you have a bug”
Yeah my xanga is reallly messed up
Everytime I try to get on it it won’t let me and it says Operation Aborted and something like that….
I need help. Thanks
i think you should put a new kind of xangazon thing. like the playing, reading, watching,
you should have ‘eating as one of the choices. haha I know me and my friends would use it!!
kkz got ya
Eeep I get this error message thingy when I change or TRY to change my look and feel?!
Microsoft VBScript runtime error ’800a000d’

Keep it sweet.
–Jessica
You guys rock my face off!
AWESOME
thank you so much!!
i love the new profile pics feature on the blogrings page
Yeah, hey dude. This isn’t about your entry. Aright, you know the little music thing at the bottom or top of your entry that says who you are listening too…yeah, well, how come the picture of the album cover doesn’t come up on my computer anymore? I was just wondering…and why did that same music thing go form the top of my entrys to the bottom?
Later
Jon
very cool
the blogrings are pretty nifty…and I have some ideas for Xanga to make it even niftier….like when someone comments on another’s page…it’d be nifty if their icons showed up on the person’s page beside their name….and have like a friends page…almost like the “view subsciptions” page…but so outsiders can see it….I think that’d be nifty
Ab. Fab. ^_^ Many thanks.
Hey i have a question….How do i make differnt names for e props and comments?
YAY THANK YOU!
wahoo!! thank you so awesome keep up the awesome work!
-LOSER

hey my site and i think everyone elses won’t allow music to play. this sucks so please fix it quick!
This rocks!!!
That’s all very cool, but is there a way to make it easier to find specific blogrings, or to know what category a certain blogring is in? Like when you’re browsing the blogrings, show the ‘tree’ of categories that blogring falls into… like
Art>drawing>CharcoalLovers
Or something like that at the top of the page.
Or a site map of them.
Even with the search, I can’t find things I know exist out there. Thanks.
How do you get music on your xanga?
i like havin more than 4 blogrings… thanks tons.
How about this one…. I started a Blogring and my Premium ran out, temporarily, and so it took my name off as ringleader. Now there’s a blogring running around with a leader. The humanity!!
YES

Xanga picture hosting has not been working well the past month or so…It always worked fine before hand…My pictures are under the limit and everytime i try to post it says “unknown error”…Please refund my money or give me credit for another 6 month trial because i can’t post my pics, and if i have to use an outside source then there is no need for a premium account…
sumthings wrong with xanga all the words are humongous i hope u read this cus this problem is getting on my nerves!
hey, can you some how try to make the blog rings where; when you can make one and you get a new xanga name you can still be the leader of your blog ring. because i’d really like that.
just an idea.
please.
thanks.
this place is awesome. thanks for all you guys(and girls) do…any clue when we will be able to put multiple profile pics up again?

I subscribed to premium thinking i could search people by state like how it used to be but i cant find it anymore. is this feature dead?
Hi! Can you add a feature which the ringleader can easily email or comment all the ringmembers simultaneously? This would facilitate a better communication with all the members of the respective ring a well as form a more cohesive community. Thanks!
i don’t really get the chatterbox web like i went to http://chatter.floobe.com/ but i don’t get it how do you get a chatterbox in your site can u help me out plaese thank u alot
props.
yall rock.
da new stuff is kool!!! now i can join up to 8 blogrings!
that sucks. what do premium members get??
Ok, I will try to create a blogring, and it tells me it is an invalid name, then one of my friends will try the blogring with the exact same name on their screenname and it works, I only have three blogrings so I don’t understand why it would work for her and not me.
hm, may i report some ad removal codes to be blocked?
nice nice. u should post some codes n stuff u think ppl could use. alright stick with it.
Great! I’m sure now that I am gonna find many people like me on my blogring.
It wont let me post pics on my xanga…why is that? everyone seems to have a diffrent xanga settings then me..can you please help me??
wow, this is awWWWWWesome!! thanks!
Thank you.
well done you guys!
But ever since the blogrings are relauched, I got kicked out of a blogring that I was supposed to be the ring leader of. Has it got anything to do with the blogring relauching?
Hey John there is something wrong with my Xanga site when i post something it says it is already posted and when i look at the public PREVIEW it isent there please fix this problom please. Anyways i love the new features there cool.
aye !
I have a problem. You know those free xanga layouts you can get from websites? That you don’t need premium for? Well they don’t work right on my Xanga. Can you help me?
keep up the awesome work!
whats a blogring, and how do you make the public profile look the way you want it to??
shweet! tis awesome
I found someone that removed the ad banner from their xanga and that it is possible that Xanga could freeze their account if they are found. Is that true? The person is starlite_brite.
Thanks!
nice work………….
I concur with Shelbygotboost!
Way to go on the blogrings. =) Very nice.
Hi, I just thought of a couple of things that may or may not be good ideas but figured I’d send them your way.
#1-I try to find xanga scripts to use and can never find them in the site without some problems. At the top of your Xanga front page, it would be nice to see a link there to the scripts that would include those most of us in xanga like to find such as the one for picture profiles (I haven’t found it yet today) etc.
#2-I can never seem to get into featured content when I am looking to go there and check it out. Thousands I guess would be a good guess, get emails from Xanga everyday with our subscriptions in them. I was just thinking it would be nice to have a list of the featured content to come that way, in our emails, just add it into that one with the feedback log. Just a thought and imagine it might be a real pain in the rear to do but, your geniuses that formulate all the rest of the fantastic things that happen here in Xanga might say, “piece of cake”. So, there you have it, my thoughts for the day. Now you have 3 things to work on that would please me, and the third of course is still being able to clean out the blog rings of dead sites and dud members. Oops, you didn’t hear me say DUD.
The #1 item should be very easy to do, hoping any suggestions I make are winners in your eyes and make you look good to Xanga membership.
LittleE
One more thing, a way to search for something within a site would be terrific. I have a terrible time finding things I wrote myself when I want them. Something else popped up in my head and have lost it. Age, it happens.
I like the new Blogring styles… But when are you guys gonna finish the picture profile… I’m anxious to get the rotating up instead of having to do it myself everyday.
Pretty Cool. ^
eh i was wondering.. is it possible for u guys to fix my xanga.. cuz like i put on tha code to. hide the whole left side and now i can edit it no more..
no common
Was there supposed to be a search option by location?
I LOVE WHAT YOU DID!
=]
thanks ! more blorings to join =D
heyy well HOW DO YOU DELETE BLOGRINGS because i have 8 and i didn’t kno we had a limit and sooo PLEASE tell me how to delete them!!! THX {if u do} *mee* WRITE BACK ON MUH SITE K PLZ
Why can’t I view any of today’s posts on other people’s sites? I saw them earlier, and now they’re not there. =(
your new changes messed my whole internet up. i cant even check my email. at least i think it did. i dont want to sound stupid or mean or anything, but i liked the old xanga. and what happened to everyone’s chatterboxes?
ahh.. awesome! 8? great =]
[ [ [ r a y n e ] ] ]
ok.
thnx lots….. makes navigating so much easier and headache free
THNX dude. Now i can be in all of the ones that i want!
The layout for blogrings are excellent!
However, 8 blogrings for both premium and non-premium?? This rule is ratehr unattractive to the premium users (what else are we paying for?! – no top banner, 20meg space and some customiseable module). I doubt I’ll be renewing my premium membership.
Also, could there be a better File Management? I would like to be able to upload more than 1 photo at a time. Moreover, I really dislike how Xanga auto resizes/meddles with my images – I mean, we pay for the storage, so hence we should be able to use it how we like.
hi there. I would need to get back to me asap. Lately, I’ve changed the layout for my xanga and it has some problems- the contents for the blog or rather only the blog part is not showing! I looked thru all my codes and I don’t find anything wrong with it. But still, when i view my site, the blog part appeared white in colour. please help me out. thanks
niceee
YES!!
cool site! thanx for keeping the Xanga heart flowin’
kyle
i think it’s all great!
Y’all ROCK… VERY HARD!!!
nice coding.. thanks.. for all of yalls hard work

uh one thing i would like xanga to have is the abiltity to have xmlloaded from another site to work with flash banners =
I can’t imagine you fellows not looking for new feedback but as this is an old post I am writing in, I may be disappointed. I will copy this into Mark and John’s comments and possibly more of the Xanga Gods comment boxes.
LittleEgypt here, writing on this end of the keyboard. I have begun another blog ring. This is my second and I am enjoying blogging and meeting some very nice people in Xanga. I began my second ring, just yesterday, July 10, 2004. It is a seniors blog ring, called, ~*~Old People,
Platinum Treasures Of Society~*~ begun to unite seniors in the blogging arena in Xanga and to bring them together with people of their own ages. It specifically states in the ring profile it is for seniors aged 50 and older. Now, I know there will be some who think they have to join the gray haired jewels in the crown of humanity but I already have a 16 year old, click here to view who obviously does not fit the criteria and who is more than foul mouthed in his personal profile and in his blogging habits. Now, I know he can read and write and work on a computer or, he wouldn’t be here in Xanga but, obviously, he can not comprehend. My new group has grown to 16 seniors in a days time and he has, deliberately as a smart A– kid come into the ring to see just what I intend to do about it. Please, can you tell me where you are, in the development of the delete a site from a ring feature in your ring software. I truly get into a lot of hot and heavy blogging I don’t particularly love but, I will do it again if I have to. The kid is not retarded, he is not aged 50 and he is a troublemaker. I would appreciate any feedback someone heading up Xanga can and will give me. I believe Xanga did not mean for this community to be run and over-run by snotty nosed people, no matter what their ages.
My best regards and thank you ahead of time for any feedback.

god i wish i could get this many comments lol
awesome job
John, LittleE here, I am having difficulty thinking you realize a lot of what is happening. I have blocked users from this hacking thing that are still writing comments in my blog. I am positive they know when I come into Xanga. This one showed up within minutes of my coming to my site. I sent this email to abuse at Xanga, and will paste it in more than one spot as I am not sure they can’t hack you and delete comments. What I sent in the email:
With all the hacking problems I am having, I have blocked several people. This evening, I came on line and one of those I had blocked popped into my site within just a few minutes of my being there. I believe he knows when I am online. He is blocked from my site but he has left a message I can read, in my comments. This user is named: jayssite or http://www.xanga.com/jayssite
There is still some major problems and I believe it is more than you think it may be although I can admit to being wrong and know I quite possibly can be. I just want to make you aware that someone who is blocked from my site can still come in and comment.
Best Regards, LittleEgypt
jayssite3 Please see that John gets this message, the person who I blocked, he has a new Xanga name, that is how he came into my site to comment. Please make John aware of the fact.
Regards, LittleEgypt.
how do i add music!!!!!!! on my site!!!!!!
hi.i just wanted to say that i dont know why but i cant get into my look and feel or subscriptions..do you have any idea why? thanku
Is it my imagination or I cannot use filters of opacity on my Xanga site anymore?
I also checked a few Xangas, and their opacity is not working. Why??
You have no idea how many people now love you.
I would like to cancel this account.
how come you can’t make the title bar transparent in xanga classic?
ok, everything’s fine now. I figured out the automatic skin thing.
the request features link has been killed from the contact page, so idk where to suggest ideas but – maybe a log of how many times entries are emailed.
and im thoroughly looking forward to seeing the xanga top 50 of blogrings and subscriptions, but i was thinking a top 50 emailed entries would be awesome too.
just a thought tho.
later

DUDE! Our look and feel thing is broken! and theres no way to tell you about it!
propz
hey thanks for that…leave me a commene
I love you guys

I was wondering. On the look and feel why do you just have the xanga colors and not the super color palette, like on the weblog entry? I sometimes want pinks and certain colors that aren’t on the xanga colors. I find that frustrating. I also think its unfair that premium gets to color up their entrys when the free people don’t. Some of us dont’ have money to throw around as we please.
where do you report xanga abuse?!?! someone is being realllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy mean!
i would just like to congratulate you on ur awesome site….xanga is really a lil world of it’s own…GOOD JOB!!!…WOOOOOO!!!!!!! ::runs off naked::
diink
cool.
u guys suck donkey balls
Where can I get help making my site work? More specifically, I’m trying to get this sound file to play on my site:
http://stu.wccnet.org/~eaboubak/german2.mid
It refuses to work for me. I even tried going around the ‘Look and Feel’ restrictions by embedding it myself in the page using HTML. It still refuses to work.
Help?
Hey, whats up with not getting all of the xanga posts that i subscribe to in my email. I get some sometimes..or don’t get any at all..and then go to the actual site and find out that that person posted and I never got it in the email! And sometimes I get them a day or 2 later!
aawesome
yay really awesome thanks john!!!!!!

aweesomee, thank you guys! =]
thank you LOTS! it must have been alot of work x_X
how do u get music to play on your site?
sweet stuff! I’m so excited about the revamped blogrings!
Okay…I have a problem.
I used a script for a skin from http://www.createblog.com and it really screwed up my site. I didn’t like how it looked when I put it on my site, so I hit the back button to go back to my look and feel page. I changed everything back to how it was, but the skin was still there. So after a few more tries, I restarted my computer. Now when I try and go to my look and feel page, an error comes up and I am unable to even get to the page. I guess no one else has had a problem with the skin, so I’m not sure what to do. I hope you can help me!

u motherfuckers wont answer me, u sons of bitches
I really think you should put my friend’s 7/23/2004 entry into the featured content at least for a day
thanks
dude you better do something soon. im getting really mad. my profile pic of me wont show. what is that?????
Hi there. The search feature for the blogrings isn’t working. Just thought I’d let you know.
THANK YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS MADE XANGA POSSIBLE..BEACUASE OF IT..I HAVE MET SOMEON REALLY SPECIAL HO KEEPS ME SMILIN AND HAPPY DAY IN AND DAY OUT…I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
Huh? hahahah Juz Pimpin’ Outro…
WEll, its really nice to hear that they are more updates. A year ago, i didnt even use to be on xanga, now…though its different, even though i do have a blog on blogger , i write on xanga, everytime i got somethin to say. Remeber the homework, the job, the boyfriend to keep happy, n everythin/everyone else!
Nice updates, make nice people.
i was just wondering…there are so many sites out there that have been used like once for an entry and then never again or watever…i know that some people use xanga just to post things on others peoples sites…but i know that like on some dating sites or watever theres a thing that lets other people know when the last time they visited that site was…
i was thinking maybe it could be kinda kool to put a feature like that on xanga so that way you can know when the person last used their xanga account and also that way maybe you guys can filter out the people that havent been on their name for a while…
like i also know there are some people even myself that have gotten tired or watever from their site and have made new sites….but there is no way to delete your site and unsubscribe to xanga…maybe you guys can add somthing like a link to go to so you can delete your xanga site..or well i was going to say send it in the email you give to first time users so that way if they want to unsubscribe they like click a link that takes them to a place where they can delete their page..but a lot of people i think wouldnt keep those so….i dont know…i just think that that may be a good idea…
i know i already have like 4 accounts and one i made but i wanted to change it then another one too many people left me stupid messages and the third one i just didnt want anymore…i wanted to start fresh…
but anyways this is just a suggestion..i figured since you’re one of the people in charge then i can leave my comments here. but yea
maybe you wont even read this but if you do i hope that you keep it in mind or at least consider it even if you dont go through with it.
im just a lil like ugh cuz its already so hard to think of a xanga name and when i try like 10 times and dont get one that hasent ben used its annoying…and then i check to see the kind of people or watever who used that name and its like they only used their site once and that was it…i wanted the name toomuchdrama i believe and it was taken..i go to that persons site and the last post they had was in 2002
if anything and you dont want to piss people off by deleting their account of course one send them an email…like make a thing like if you dont use ur xanga…if anything for 6 months to like a year then we’ll delete it i mean thats being exaggerated but i figure hey that gives some people enough time to post….they can post one then a year later if they havent then u send them an email giving them another week..and if they havent by then u go ahead and delete it
just some suggestions anyways im done rambling you probably wont take this into consideration maybe its silly but watever….
thanks for taking time to read it at least if you have
have a good night/day bye
good.
o
what the heck do e-props do anyway, they don’t do ANYTHING
uhh… w00t… yeah…
lol

Dear John,
hate to bug you seeing how you must be busy. but, i was playing on my Xanga and found out that if you block someone they can still leave you comment by going through Eprops. i think that if you block someone the Eprops you left them should go away too.
~xxmysticwolfxx~

xanga should have like a personals ad. i don’t know where to look for people. you should at least have more search options on users’ interests.
hey the blogrings need a chat function otherwise they still serve no purpose whatsoever. if i wanted to find out what people are interested in i wouldn’t have needed to join xanga. blogrings are pretty fun though.
hey thats cool all we need now is a lil chatroom in are blob ring.. that would make xanga an even cooler website! so pple can talk about what they have in commen!
Hey there, I don’t know where else to go with these, so here are some suggestions.
1. Users be allowed to add themselves to their own protected lists so that they can see the Protected version of their sites when they look at the Public version. They can always take themselves off if they’d rather not.
2. An option be created for Xanga to create a .txt or other very basic transcript of all posts made, comments excluded. Users can then copy/paste it onto their HDD if they want to back them up or just for their own memories.
*Salute*

Hi,
Just wondering if you work in the Xanga team. I’m facing this huge problem of posting up profile picture. Whenever I made an attempt, the Xanga window will state that it has found a bug. Please help to fix it please. My Xanga seems so incomplete now. Thank you!
cool
how do i put a music video at the top of my xanga….
write back to me plz….here is my xanga site….sxymtrcr
HOW COME NOBODY BLACK IS EVER FEATURED???
asdf
are you the owner of Xanga because if you are I think that its a bunch of bull s**t that people have to pay to be a n xanga premium member just to look up sumone elses weblog.And that they have to pay to be able to change their font color.I am going to switch back to livejournal because this is just stupid.
Can u help me? I have this back ground that only allows me to update my xanga and edit it and stuff, it doesn`t have the link so I can put a new background on there either. or update my icon picture thing, could u help?
hi!!!!!!!!! yea..well…bye!
how do you use xanga? i need help
DAmb, my picture keeps showing an X when it loads, my song still plays but my picture hasn’t been showing up. I dont know if its something i did or i got a “Bug” what should i do
ok so can u let me join the blogrings i left to join other ones? cuz now i can join all of them
great
i have a suggestion that you should have the option to delete a comment and eprops that you left someone else
You guys said that you would put me in XANGA’s featured content if I had 20 or more comments for an entry in 24 hours or less. Now I have 22 comments in less than 24 hours, and you will never put me in featured entry for whatever crazy reason you can think of.
you people are quite generous
devoting all this time better spent to
fixing free xangas
kudos
thats awesome??????
is it possible to make an option, where no one is allowed to subscribe to you?
T hi s is Good_Shepherd and I launched a site for my husband Can I have xanga premium until I get you a check for my husband,s site It wont give me premium. I have it on mine thanks
I’M LOVING IT…KEEP IT UP..KEEP WORKING TO IMPROVE….ONLY REST IF TOTALLY NEEDED.
what up
hey
hey
are there any way there could be unlimited blogrings to join? that’d be awesome!
or better yet, maybe 15 as the max. # of blogrings? yes..i’m pretty much addicted to blogrings! =P
hi…my xanga kinda got hacked into today, no one knew my password and all of a sudden my layout is different and they even left a little message, just wondering how it happened and what i can do to make sure it doesnt happen again?
i have a bug on my page
http://www.xanga.com/SPxSeSsHoUmArUx215
I think it sucks we can’t add little images to posts anymore
y am i not featured? im never featured…=
whatsa blogring ( fyi : i is a newbie)
simple plan rocks
You guys really rocks~ Thx a Lot~
dayYmn dis iz AWESUM! thx soooo much now i join more blogringz~
hi
Hey how do you change the eprops and comments to like hugs and kisses?
u rule
Where do you get featured content? Do you ever read the blogs that get featured? Some of them are not good featured content some is stupid .
Woo-hoo! A member of the Xanga team’s blog! Well, I just decided to comment here because of the opportunity to increase traffic to my site. Selfish, huh?
I have no clue who to confront about this…
But I have a request/suggestion about the subscribe lists. I would love to see a way to seperate the names. Just like on a normal buddy list on AIM, the xanga users would be able to simply type in a category, say “School buddies” and they would be able to organize their school buddies under that list.
Thus, Xanga subscribers would have a much easier way to quickly find their friends!
I hope this idea will be used, or if I can hear back from you so I know I don’t have to reccomend it anymore.
Thank you for your time!
Hey Xanga! i have never got a comment from u-guys, suppose you can drop by?
