A new look...for absolutely no reason.

Hello, friends!

From the Xanga FAQ.....

What does "Xanga" mean?

It means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. We just wanted a name that sounded fun, but was still short and sweet. Xanga fit the bill.

I always assumed it was a word in Japanese...I don't know why ;)

How do you pronounce Xanga?

We pronounce it "ZANG-uh"

Who was it that pronounces Xanga as "ZAUN-Ga"? You're wrong!

Could you use Xanga in a sentence?

Sure, here are a couple of sentences:

• "I checked out my Xanga Site today and saw that someone had left a comment."
• "I went to Xanga today and browsed through the posts in Featured
  Content."

We've even seen Xanga used as a verb:

• I Xanga'd today for a few hours

The shortest sentence using the word "Xanga"? Xanga sucks.

What do Xanga members call each other?

We've heard it all: Xangans, Xangites, Xanganites...

We prefer use "Xangans". Here's our logic: if you live in Europe, you're a European; if you live in Asia, you're an Asian; and if you live in Australia, you're an Australian.

So naturally if you live on Xanga, you're a Xangan!

And if you live in Great Britain, you are British, and if you live in Denmark you are Danish, if you live in Spain then you are Spanish. So naturally, if you live on Xanga, you are Xangish! :P

So some have been curious, what exactly is the meaning of my username? Well here you go....
