Links

The Skins Language has tags to denote certain links on your site, such as the link to subscribe to your site, the link to visit the reviews section, the link to view your profile, and the link to navigate your posts. In the sample, the first subscribe link is implemented using this code:

<A href="<$Subscribe_Link$>">subscribe</A>

[jump to source]

the <$Subscribe_Link$> tag tells your Xanga site to substitute the actual link for the tag. The same format is used for the rest of the tags on the page; you can view a complete list of tags at the Xanga Skins Reference.

Looking at the bottom of the page, the <$Previous_Link$> and <$Next_Link$> tags display links to navigate your posts. <$Previous_Link$> is the link to view your previous 5 posts; <$Next_Link$> is the link to view your next 5 posts. If you are at the first page of your posts, there won't be any previous posts. In this case the <$Previous_Link$> tag will just point to your front page; the same is true when there aren't any next posts.

With Xanga Skins we are also introducing the <$Share_This_Skin$> tag. This displays a link that when clicked, allows other fellow Xangans to use your skin on their site.
