  • SUBLYMONAL

    We’re launching a new promo with Sprite!

    It’s a very chill promo where we’re adding an extra Lymon tab – you can check it out what it will look like here:

    See the extra tab with the Sprite logo? It’s very low-key, in the upper
    right. Mouse over that, and check out what happens! That special
    effect will only
    happen if and when you mouseover the extra Lymon tab. Of course, this will ONLY appear on classic users’ pages (Premium and Plus users’ pages will be ad-free like always).

    Even though the
    promo is pretty low key, we created an optout script that you can
    install – you can check it out here. Just remember: You Love Lymon. And
    Lymon loves you. Sublymonal Message Complete.

    I love sprite, sorta.

  • Not too bad.  This is much better than the last one. 

  • cool i like sprite.

  • that’s cool
    nice and low key like it should be

  • I’m thirsty now for Sprite.  Thanks alot!

  • For an ad, that’s pretty cool.

  • i think it sucks!

    BTW: jeeves777 is a douchebag!

  • It’s all about sprite!!

  • It’s better than the stupid heads, but still stupid.

  • seems kinda tacky

  • That’s pretty cool, actually.

  • just by you blogging about it makes it non-low key.

  • I liked the effects, I definitely think this is how ads should be… out of the way but oh so cool!

  • I love pepsi!!

  • i don’t know that i would call it low key when you put the cursor on the tab the whole page turns icky yellow and green.  thank god i’m a premium user

  • i will leave it.. why not help out ya know

  • awesome. lymon. drink it.

    .>

  • Sprite is what you drink when there’s no 7-Up around.

  • “Thank you and obey.”

    My content isn’t here to sell sodas.

  • If I post commercials it’ll be for Trojans and Dr. Pepper thank you.

    Things I actually buy.

    Hehe.

    It was kinda cool looking though…..

    …stupid sublymonals.

  • Mouse over that, and check out what happens!

    nothing, apparently.

    Cheers!

  • ewwwwwwww promos.

    but yay for xanga premium!! woot woot

  • I don’t see it. What happens?

  • lol.

  • The internet has enough adds…. But then again, I know you have to make money somehow, right?

  • haha.
    that’s pretty great.
    trippy man.
    yea.
    <3

  • i just don’t understand where the “y” comes from…i mean, lemon. lime. there’s no y.

  • yay 32nd comment!

  • I drink sprite whenever I can.

  • nice.

  • While indifferent to promotion, I do like lymon. 

  • hey wats up im diedra n u still dont know me which that sucks so n-e ways send me a comment b-cause ive got nothin else to do lol

                         xoxoDiEdRaTxoxo:)(:

  • That’s… uh… creepy.

    Oh, regarding being ad-free, can premium users get the ads off our subscription pages? Thanks. :)

  • The code to get rid of it isn’t working for me.

  • That’s wicked awesome dude

  • ohhhhhhhhh my. lol
    the ad location is great–I barely noticed it… but totally cool… in a really odd kind of way.
    crazy in a really insanely cool kind of way…

  • Grooovy, so um, how you put it?  Heh heh, “chill”…

  • A very weird sort of advertising…

    Using subliminal messages, lol I wonder if it will work.

    I think it’s the hype that might actually make this product succeed, not the subliminal messages itself.

    -Sarah-

  • Yeah, that’s very chill yo.

  • HEY

  • its so useless….but cool

  • john, heads up on a way ppl seem to be circumventing the xanga lock. ppl can still google our xangas through groups.xanga.com

  • Your optout code does not work. I had to have a friend modify it for me to this:

    .sublymonal {display: none !important; }

  • It kinda makes me NOT want to drink Sprite.

  • that. was. gay.

  • lol, I like it

  • Alrighty then.

    One question about the ratings though… is there any way to tell what a site is rated?

  • …interesting, to say the least

  • although i don’t think they’re trying to be too subtle, do you?

  • NO.

  • i didnt see it, i must be the only one!!!

  • omg i love it!!! thats sweet!!! i found it!!!

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

  • we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we  we we we we we we we we we

  • god the stuped bannanas stoll my gummie bair

  • Well. Yeah. That kinda sucks. Better than the heads yes, but still sucks.

    But perhaps I won’t have to highlight everything on otherwise unreadable sites. Just… mouseover a tab…. Yeah, still sucks.

    these r all the pplz who want xanga to change the age limits into no limits. so plz plz plz plz plz try to make xanga’s age limit disappear plz this is for ur own good if u dont pplz would like myspace better to tell u the truth i kind of also like myspace better too LOL!

  • Interesting . . . pretty actually.

  • Good for Sprite, I guess.

  • i dont really understand this thing but w/e.
    sierra mist is much better.

  • why do we have to have added security when we go to look and feel?

  • LOL interesting to say the least…can’t say its bad but it sure is blinding when you mouse over it

  • clever clever. sublymonal… god those advertisers must be patting themselves on their backs for coming up with that one.

  • hey sexy comment me and read my pro im either 16 or 17 you got to read my pro to find that out though

  • Someone please help me, i got a xanga the other day, not my first i was just getting a new one, and i really like it and I want to keep it, but it wont let me sign in! It keeps saying I have the wrong password. I do the lost password thing, and it lets me reset my password. Try to sign in, same thing, freezes my account! I’ve tried clearing the cookies, I’ve made sure I’m accepting cookies, and I’ve restarted both the browser and the computer. I’ve tried in IE and in Mozilla. I know I have the right username and password! Yet it keeps freezing my account! Someone heeellppp!

  • I think that’s illegal! I was pretty scared it was a virus!!!

  • I think that’s illegal! I was pretty scared it was a virus!!!

  • ryc: aiya, not beg…just comment, silly. my discretion will only apply to those whom i don’t know and have nothing on their pages. =)

  • I tried to flag ‘sublymonal’ for SPAM but I got a bug!

  • no,sean!u have it backwards!7-up is what u drink whe there is no sprite around!

  • hey!where did sean’s comment go???!!!

  • i can’t understand this!i can’t understand anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow, John!
    Yer so high tech!!!!
    OMFG!!

    no actually.

  • xAnGa. com rox it’s better then myspace

  • i was like what the.. but then i realized you guys just want more money

    so your trying to get more sponsers or w/e u call them to put ads on xanga.

    do u guys actually live off of xanga? or have real jobs?

    im not trying to be mean or sound mad but i just wanna kno.

    i mean im really not mad.. or trying to be mean cuz i liked how it looks and stuff.

    answer me on my xanga plz john.

  • dude also one thing we want changed is the

    “these r all the pplz who want xanga to change the age limits into no limits. so plz plz plz plz plz try to make xanga’s age limit disappear plz this is for ur own good if u dont pplz would like myspace better to tell u the truth i kind of also like myspace better too LOL!”

    he’s right and we would go to myspace but i really hate them and would be forced to use them we as your users should be heard when requests are made like this one.

  • and i do realized my icon is from myspace but that doesnt mean that i like them

    i actually highly dislike them….. i just so happen to like their icon.

  • another thing that is annoying (kinda like me complaning a lot) is the added security when u go to look and feel. its like ahh!!! cuz some people have slow internet and i know they get annoyed but people like me who have fast internet still get annoyed cuz its like.. what? 5 seconds gone. and then sometimes (not the browser) but the xanga server wont remember our password even when you’ve click on remember me.

    ahhhh!!

    so plz take it off and its not like people hack them self in and decied to change the look. who care about the look.

  • i feel even better knowing that this will be completely off topic, but due to your newly implemented ratings systems, i’m deleting my site.

    goodbye.

  • I’m still in the dark about the ratings system…I don’t know how to use it.

  • I don’t get it, makes a damn lag when I hover on to it. Weird. Oh well, all for the better I hope. BTW, it got rid of that damn ad.yieldmanager that was plagueing my site. So props for sublymonal.

    Rating system is all right, some people need that good ol’ fashion discipline from time to time.

  • hey this is kk will some pwople help my on my site thanks

  • Hey I need some help my brother told me about this thing called footprints where one can see who has looked at thier site?

    I cant find it anywhere on my site?

  • I don’t know where to enter suggestions, so I will comment here.

    For the xanga lock (where you prevent unsigned users to view your page), it redirects visitors to the page that says the user has enabled xanga lock. On this page, can you put the window where xanga owners can automatically log in, rather than have to visit an extra page just to log in.

    I don’t know…just the simplicity seems a ton more appealing

  • thanks, john :) take care

  • Why isn’t this posted on the front page Xanga Team blog so that all users have a fair chance of seeing it and the choice to opt out? The banner ads are fair enough, but this advertising intrudes on and over our actual blogs.

    Why isn’t the opt out more simple to implement? a) The instructions on how to implement the script are much too vague – you do not specify where in the Look & Feel page to put it. I put it in the scripts box first, and that had no effect, then I selected the customise header option and pasted it into there, which did get rid of the ad, but it wasn’t a great solution cos now I have to make a header using html which I can do but is a pain. b) Why not have some simple ‘click to opt out’ facility? Having to insert a script (along with the too-vague instructions) is not fair to people who might not feel confident about html etc.

    I’m opting out because Sprite is a Coca Cola brand, and I boycott Coca Cola due to its complicity in abuse of union activists in Colombia & Turkey and the environmental damage it is causing to local communities in India.

  • HOW COME I AM LOSING MY REVIEW PAGE AND ALL MY FRIENDS’ LIST? PLEASE HELP…

  • I think it’s cool.

    Oh, back to the dash idea – I loved Dash, but now I’ve switched back to classic. Reason being that, in Dash – there’s no options to look back into old files – and I wanted to find blogs from previous months/years that I’ve changed from public to private. Can’t do it. So I’m back to classic… but I liked Dash better.

    Not sure if you’ll still be reading comments for this post. =P Cheers!

  • Hey, guys, do you know why the footprints page shows multiple visits from California on seemingly everyone’s page?

    At least three of my friends have complained of it independently of each other, and, after some googling, there are other users with the same problem. Other trackers don’t show the visits.

  • ok get a piece of paper out and number it 1-8! Don’t look down at the answers or it won’t work!

    1) what color r ur eyes?

    4)would u rather have a outside wedding or one in a church?

    5)would u rather have a cat, dog, or bird?

    6)Do u like red roses or whits roses?

    7)Whats ur favorite color out of silver, blue, and yellow?

    8) Pick a number 1-10

    Now make 2 wishes!!!!!

    Now the results!!!

    1)(EYE COLOR) green-creative blue-strong brown-active hazel-energetic gray-quiet

    2) (HAIR) long-smart but wild medium-ur a cutie short-fun 2 b around

  • Hello. This is The_Jumbo_Shrimp.

    Is there any way to make the sublymonal ad my background permanently? I could figure it out myself, but it is much easier, and probably faster, to just ask you.

    P.S.    If anyone reading this comment knows how, comment me on how, please.

    Thank You,
    Shrimpy

  • Oh, I know why I can’t see it. Firefox… go adblock!

  • The Xanga Feedback Module under your login is great.  I really enjoy it being right there.  It’s so convenient!!!!

  • i still see it in firefox after i insert the code in my look and feel.

    this is NOT COOL.

  • Trying to brainwash us?

  • That’s kinda creepy if you think about it…
