Ottakee Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I just figured out that I have a xanga blog site. I put up pictures last spring but never did anything with it. How do I get started with blogging? Is xanga a good site to stick with or will people that visit it get a lot of junk from it? I enjoy visiting blogs of a few friends but have no idea how to create one for myself. Any help for a technical challenged newbie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PariSarah Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 It used to be great for a technophobe--fairly restricted in what you could do with it, but you didn't need to know html. Now, it's less so. Less restricted, but you do need to be a little more comfortable around computers. I'm not aware of any trouble your visitors will have. It seems to be more stable than blogspot (it goes on the fritz less), and although the free xanga blogs have little banner ads, I think they're fairly inconspicuous. No annoying pop ups or spyware that I'm aware of. How to start, though? Just start posting! Can you find where you add blog entries? Just start making entries. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that--use one of their preset templates for your site's "look," and add things as you get more comfortable.

Remudamom Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I'm a Xangan. I've got the horse blog, the sale blog and then a family blog. I am not good with computers, but don't have any trouble with Xanga. It's really easy. Do you have any specific questions? To get started you need to scroll down to the bottom and click on "your site". That takes you to your personal page where you can begin blogging. I think I have your footprints somewhere from the Round Pen, I'll be peeking in on you to see what you're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom2legomaniacs Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I am on xanga too. It is not hard to use at all. I am slow to catch on to things like that and I feel it is very easy to use. It did take me a while to learn where to do some customized things. And I am still learning on that one. But overall, basic usage very simple! And I saw your post. Looks really nice!

Remudamom Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Congratulations! I think you've had that blog since you first started commenting at the Round Pen, you just never put anything on it, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
