We just rolled out the Xanga Lock feature.  You can turn it on to keep users who aren't signed in out of your site!  Alot of users user javascript to keep anonymous users from viewing their site, but javascript solutions don't work if javascript is disabled on the browser! This is foolproof, Enjoy!

We just launched our new profiles!  If you don't have one yet, click here to upgrade, it's free!  Once you've upgraded, you can be my friend. 

To change which page you will log into please goto

On the bottom, there is a pulldown for "Your Home", you can pick from "Xanga Dash" or "Private Home".  Some people couldn't figure out where to change this setting, I hope this is clear enough. 

I've been working on fixing email posts from various cell phone to
strip out provider ads.  Most of these ads are text attached to
the bottom of a post which can easily be cut out by appending "endpost"
to your message.  Although, there are some providers such as
T-Mobile which will add all sorts of html and images to your
message.  If you are seeing images that you didn't attach come in
on your email posting, please let me know and I'll have it fixed right
away!

The new email posting was just launched!  Please try it out and
let me know how it's working out for you.  What we're still
working on is getting email posting to work perfectly from all cell
phone.  So if you have a cell phone with MMS capabilities, try
posting some pictures to your Xanga!

I just finished up the new email posting project, which will be
launched shortly.  Now premium users will be able to post straight
through email with image attachments!  Any pictures that are
attached will be automatically placed in your Photo Manager! 
Look out for it in a couple of days!

So it seemed that there was a little bug with the new multiple upload
tool where sometimes it uploaded duplicates of an image.  I did a
little digging today in the code and found a javascript error that was
causing the problem.  This bug didn't seem to affect too many
people and only occured under specific circumstances.  My fix is
in place so if anyone experience duplicate pictures being uploaded,
please let me know!

Multiple uploads was launched yesterday and I have recieved a
tremendous amount of positive feedback!  I'm really glad that
users are loving this new feature.  Keep your eyes open for new
feature soon to be released! 

I'll be posting here on all my work related stuff.  Check out my website www.jumpoffabuilding.com if you're interested in knowing more about me and my life outside of xanga!
