Xanga is an online blog hosting service site wherein people get the chance to create blogs in audio, video, web and photo. Its main features include making pulses and profiles. Xanga, phonated as “Zang-uh,” is one of those networking websites that allow people to share information and get the latest updates from friends around the globe. It serves as journals for most teenagers and an interaction site for everyone. Using the Html (Hypertext Markup Language), you can have the power to change the appearance of your blog site, customizing everything you want; from images, background, colors, etc. This creates a more personal touch that will definitely give your visitors an idea about you with just a single look. Posting texts on your Xanga blog is a very easy thing, but customizing using html demands extra effort to create an interesting and appealing blog. Here’s how you can use html Xanga layouts.
- To use this service, you have to first register to Xanga.com. Fill in required information to create an account, and then submit. Once you are done, you can use their features, including the layouts, all for free!
- Since your goal is to use the html, it is highly recommended that you know a bit about its basics so you can finish customizing in no time. Explore everything about Html, and learn important tags. This will help you ease your work.
- Once you familiarize yourself with html, you are now ready to go to Xanga Dash. Tap on the “setting” tab. Under “setting”, go to “site design” and finally click on “look and feel”. This will allow you to have a clear view on what you want to change in your blog site.
- Decide on the changes you want to make. Copy the code of the best layout you prefer to use. To paste these codes, you will be requested to log in again to your Xanga account. Go to your home page and start editing.
- Notice the drop down area on your Xanga page, tap on this key and go to the “Html Header” menu. This is where you will paste the codes. Now is your time to edit the backgrounds, font styles, sizes, and colors, as well as insert images you desire. Below are the exact instructions to make changes using the Html.
- For background colors: Edit <body> and change it to <body style="background:color"> and then swap the term “color” with the name of the color you want .
- For text sizes: Edit <FONT SIZE > to <FONT SIZE=8>eight</font>. Key in the size you want for your texts.
- For colors and faces, try using this example: <font color="green" face="courier new">Courier New</font>. Notice how we inserted the font styles and colors that we prefer.
- To insert images: Type in: <img src="location of image">. Key in the picture’s web location on the “location of image.”
- Take note that you have to always click the “Save your Changes” after every editing. But before doing that, get a sneak peak of your customizing on the “preview” and see whether you are satisfied with your work. If you are already pleased with its new appearance, tap in “yes” to save changes. If you’re not yet happy with it, you can always click “no” and improve your layout.
With Xanga layouts, you can do almost anything you want to make your blog site attractive. Remember that Xanga is not limited to simple lay-outing. If you know how to use programs like MS Word and Adobe Photoshop, you can produce an even better work!
