Xanga | Blogging community

Xanga has changed for quite some time and personally it has become even better. With new features and an active community, the blog hosting website continues to improve, getting feedback and comments from its members, and is growing in numbers each and everyday. I started using Xanga back in 2005, so I have firsthand experience on what the older versions were like and how I was able to cope with the changes in lay-out and features of the website. Though there are still some parts that need to be improved on, Xanga.com has become one of the best blog hosting websites to have ever made it in the internet.

Xanga has put up interesting feeds in its homepage like featured users, blogs, videos, and photos that really catch my attention each time I log in to my blog. With the new dashboard up and running, I can finally see what my friends and subscribers have been writing about while I’m gone. On my side, some of the people that I’ve subscribed to have also been leaving comments and eProps (tokens that serve as ratings) more often than before, which was when there weren’t any feeds in the website. I find this a big improvement on the website’s overall performance because through this, people can finally monitor and be updated on what their friends have been writing about and the ratings of featured blogs and users continue to rise higher than ever before.

Other features of the website I really enjoy with Xanga, especially the question-and-blog portion on the homepage. Any user can post a question for people to blog about and it can be about anything under the sun. Some of the best questions I’ve encountered get over 200 blog replies, some of which have very insightful messages that the bloggers want to portray. Another is the adoption of themes, which is somewhat like Multiply and MySpace where you can create your very own lay-out and theme and share it with the rest of the Xanga community. I’m not really a big fan of creating themes, so I just depend on what the other Xanga users have put up for grabs, praising them as well for their hard work and outstanding creativity. Lastly, I never get tired of reading blogs that have been featured by the website itself like Datingish, which talks about all kinds of issues that you can think of with regards to dating, courtship, marriage, and how to deal with rocky relationships. They post very interesting and meaningful blog entries about relationship quirks and problems that not everyone really talk about in general.

Overall, I’d give my experience with Xanga.com a rating of 10 out of 10 because if it wasn’t for how they have improved so much over the years, I would have transferred my entire blog to another website. Thankfully, the makers have coped up with what’s in the trend nowadays for online blogging sites and are creative enough to add interesting stuff to get the Xanga people active and interacting with other people.
