I am getting very sick of Xanga crashing all the time. I am paying for a service that I am not being able to use. I have offered more than once to help by sending you a list of dead sites or if you people were smart enough you could do it yourself. If a person does not post on their site EVER than why keep it up wasting space. Better yet, why make a person open a site, just to be able to comment. That is a waste of space. I realize that you do not know me but I find it sad when I am smarter than the people I am paying. I am paying you to provide a service. At the moment that service SUCKS!

Well, I don't have premium but I don't know that I will need it just yet. Trying to get the fill of this web page. Seems that you have been having trouble getting them books off the shelf(;-P) All I can say;"Good luck in your endeavor"!

Have a great night.

It's a great book and xanga is a great service BUT...
There are several xanga premium features mentioned in the book that DON'T actually work here.

1. downloadable weblog archives - how do you do this? When I go to my 'weblog archives' there's nothing there.
2. Built-In Commenting. Doesn't apply to non-xangans; and I don't want to force people to register for the sake of reading my blog.
3. Subscriptions. Again, non-xangans can't subscribe and I don't want to force people to register...
4. Search. It would be great if this worked within individual sites and you can find specific entries when you've forgotten the date they were posted.

And it would be SO GREAT if the "time zone" /"time stamp" options worked!
