If you notice that names in comments are no longer clickable and the avatars lead to a ‘not found’ page, do this: Top right, of your screen where your cute lil avatar is, chose Edit Profile. Scroll through and look for the space next to Website. Add in your xanga address (eg. http://myname.xanga.com) and this make it so that your name becomes a clickable link. It still does not work with your avatar image however. Now going to look and see why that is.

Xanga Tip from godisinthewind
I saw this tip from godisinthewind but didn't know how to like or reblog her entry. So I'm just cutting and pasting until I figure out a better way.

Thanks for sharing - heck, there isn't even a 'follow button on my page... so much work to be done yet.
Hmm.. where is that follow button? It's odd but I don't know a lot of people I'm following.
Cool!!! Thanks!!!
I just did it...lets see if it worked!!!
HUGS!!!
It worked!!!
HUGS!!!
I passed your info on to my readers!
They are thrilled!
HUGS!!!
I'm glad it worked, I'm sure the community will share better ways of doing things.
Thanks Matt. Several people have shared this through their blogs. I haven't come across that problem yet. Doesn't mean I won't. But if it happens, then I know what to do.

I wish they would let us respond or reply to comments right in the blog rather than in the dashboard. Maybe I'm just too fussy...
Yeah, I agree, Matt - why can't we just respond whilst reading the comment. I guess it's just for the interim - wow, this is what we get for paying??? It sucks. However, what is great that we can still be Xangan and comment on each other.
And sometimes when people reply to my comment, I don't get notified at all.
You did your website wrong, you should put http:// in front of elusivewords.xanga.com or else now if you click on your name is redirects back to xanga.com
This is strange. The http:// is there (doesn't show when you put the cursor on my name). If I just type in http://www.elusivewords.xanga.com - it takes me to the Xanga page. If I type in http://www.xanga.com/elusivewords, it takes me to the blog. It's probably another glitch.
I like the new direct reply to the comment function.
Finally!
I too wish we could reply to comments right in the blog itself instead of the dashboard thingy.
Thanks for the tip! I'm having a hard time navigating xanga but making do. So these little tips are great!
Good tip.
I can't message you on xanga. That feature is gone?
I don't think this blogging site is going to last...so...I am jumping ship.
Get on gmail and send me a message and I'll tell you where I am now.
