  • Record Video straight to your site!

    Today we're officially launching the Webcam Video Recorder!


    We've been noticing more and more vloggers on Xanga and also noticed the long process someone has to go through to upload a video from your webcam to Xanga.  There's gotta be an easier way! So Michael included these features for a better vlogging experience:
    • Record directly off your upload page
    • Goes straight to the Xanga servers so it saves space on your computer
    • Shortened transcoding time (fastest around!)

    So if you have a webcam, check it out!  Try recording a video and let us know what you think - In fact, record a video and let us know there!

    finally, a reason to get my cam working on Linux! :)
  • sean
    it's grabbing my video, but not my audio... i know my mic is working (skype, etc). any suggestions?
  • sean
    ok, I got my mic working.. Flash input level was too low. But my voice sounds like a chipmunk.

    I can assure you that I haven't touched the helium since that incident involving Gary Coleman and the TSA. Any ideas why the audio sounds like that?

    facebook apps are pretty awesome. xanga could use a few.

    I would like to suggest that you make subscriptions easier to sort through by allowing the date to be chosen for when you're looking for the blog, like a user is able to do with their own posts.

    Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place, but I can't find anywhere to just ask a question. So I'll do it here!

    Is there any way to make every post you've ever written private? I know how to do them individually, but I've been a member for almost 3 years now and that's... a lot of posts.

    Also, have you ever thought of making a Xanga instant messenger?

  • Kevin72

  • loserliz
    hi, i have a question.  If you already posted a blog under public and then a couple minutes later change the status to private, will it still be sent through e-mail to my blog subscribers or willl it stay private.  In other words, how long after a blog is posted until it is sent out in an email to subscribers??? just wondering because my last blog was really personal and i didn't want the whole world knowing about my personal life... you reply is greatly appreciated!! thanks!

    Dear Chris,

    I'm an avid user of Xanga and i've been locked out of one of my sites ThePerpetsiaCampaign.  Now believe me, it has been more than 45 mins since this happened yesterday and my friend, who has access to the site as well, changed to password to make sure i was putting in the right one.  So i typed in the new one and that damn message popped up again.  I really hope there is something to do because it's a roleplay and im one of the moderators

    from HELP ME PLEASE

    A quirk in your system...

    On the themes modules...the "recent weblogs" module includes a link to "view all weblogs" but this link goes to the unformatted side of my page. Shouldn't this link to a page that matches the theme I chose?
  • turtle_dove
    off topic: can someone help me with my themes?  the left side module is losing it's formatting, dropping down below the main content, thx
  • CareyGLY
    Finally tried this today
  • ColleenAschman_SHS
    okay i dont like this new layout thing you guys have going on...

    1 ] the links arent even working. so i cant even take the stupid layout off.
    2 ] i find beautiful layouts that layout owners make, and now i cant even see them because that new format you have up is blocking it.
    3 ] the old xanga was alot easyer to navigate through, and alot nicer to use.

    PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD XANGA
