Layouts
Q:: Okay hold on, what's a layout? A:: A layout is a background for your xanga. Like the one I've got on my xanga. Without layouts your xanga would be very, very, VERY boring.
Q:: Okay how do I veiw a layout? A:: Well. Okay. On the layout xanga there should be categories telling you the title of a layout if one title catches your eye than just press the title it should link you to what the layout looks like. (Example: http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=kkx_318 this layout was made by ll_myxanimexlayouts_ll)
Q:: Okay I found a layout I want, How do I get that layout to my xanga? A:: Alright follow the steps to veiw the layout. Once your there there should be a post of a code. Now HIGHLIGHT the code and copy it by right clicking the HIGHLIGHTED code and press copy. Now go back to your xanga and go to the "Look and Feel" button located in your info. If you can't find it just use the direct link---> http://www.xanga.com/CLAF/default.asp. Now go to the box that's titled "Custom Header" now paste the code of the layout into the "Custom Header". Than scroll down and press the "Save Changes" button and then a new web page will show up and press the "Back to Your Xanga Site" and you've got your layout!!!
Q:: What happens if I found a better layout for my xanga? A:: Oh that's simple just delete your previous layout code and paste your new layout code in your "Custom Header".
Q:: My layout doesn't show like my username or my info, what did I do wrong? A:: Nothing just some layouts require you to do that stuff. Just go to the layout code in your "Look and Feel" section. Any thing that you see in the layout code that's capitlized is probably telling you to put your username there or something else concerning your info. (ex: PUT USERNAME HERE)
Q: I keep hearing about different Styles of layouts, what are they? A: Okay Style 1 is usually a regular layout(which is a good layout style for beginners), Style 2 is usually Custom Module layouts(these are people who understand HTML/codes very well, even I had trouble!), Style 3 is Box Around xanga layout, and Style 4 is Box around xanga layouts.
Q: Okay I'm pretty good with HTML codes, but I'm having trouble with putting scrollbars on my custom module layout's profile, friends, and custom module and anything module on the left side of the layout. How do I get the scrollbar on (This is what I had trouble with!)? A: Okay this is what ll_myxanimexlayouts_ll told me which was a BIG HELP! in your custom module layout code there should be somthing that looks like this <center>IMAGE AVATAR URL HERE<center> well before the <center> paste this code in the code is just right for your modules and if it's for the other modules on the left side than find something like this <b>nearwear it said where the module is. Just play around with it and find out. That's all I can say. If you need any help than ask me. ^-^
Q: How do I get your site like this I mean like with the pop-ups and just your overall site? asked by kid_wit_no_brain A: Okay your need alot of knowledge about html even I had some trouble! You need a custom module layout cause that's what I use for this xanga. And for the pop-ups just go to any code xanga and get it from there. By the way this xanga wusn't easy making. =__= if you planning to make a really nice looking xanga you need a huge knowledge bout html.
Q: How come when I post an entry only half of it shows? A: It's because it was to long because of your layout. Don't change your layout just go to a regular code xanga and find a code called "Scrollbars for Entries" that code will put a scrollbar for ALL you entries that are too long.
Q:: What's a Jocker? A:: A jocker is a person who can't make layouts and steal someones elses layouts but copying their layout codes and claiming that it's their work. So DON'T EVER JOCK!!!
Music
Q:: How do I put music on my xanga? A:: Okay first find a music xanga. Pick a song that you like that you'd want to be on your xanga. Okay the song you want should be a link so click on it. The reason for clicking on the song is that to see if the song comes up because there are songs on music xangas that don't work. If the don't work than tell the owner of the xanga bout this problem. If it does work than right click on the song link and press "Copy Shortcut". Now go back to your xanga and go to "Look and Feel" now scroll down to where it says "Music". Now paste your "Copy Shortcut" into the music box. Make sure to take out "http:// " out before pasting your "Copy Shortcut". Now save changes and your finished. If you can't find the "Music" section than here's a link.http://www.xanga.com/claf/#background.
Q:: Can I put more than one songs on my xanga? A:: Yes there are many ways to. You can put a music playist code or put a refersh song code.
Q: Where did you get the code for your music player? The codes I've found won't allow any more than three songs to actually play. You can add them to the code like everything else, but it just won't work. Any help? asked by skiingwithpeguins A: Okay fi your playist code gives you a limited amount of songs than just copy <option value="0">SONG TITLE HERE</option> and paste it at the very end the song names ***make sure to put in the number after your last number (ex: last number is 8 than put the newly pasted song title code as 9)*** And now copy songs [0]="SONG URL HERE" and paste it at the end of your last song url just like you did with the song title and MAKE sure your put in the right number as the song title or else it won't work.
Q:: What's a cursor? A:: A cursor is that arrow/mouse thing on your screen that points stuff. lol.
Q:: Can I have a decorative cursor? A:: Of course you can! Just go to a cursor xanga and than copy the code of the cursor which is either under the cursor sample or to the right of the cursor sample. And than paste it into your "Webstats" which is the last box on your "Look and Feel" section.
Q:: My cursor keeps flicking on and off ever since I got a new cursor, why is this happening? A:: It's either you didn't delete the code for the previous cursor and you added another cursor code so just delete your old cursor code.
