“Recommended” Module
Many of you have asked for a way to share the
recommendations you’ve made with people visiting your site. Patrick and Ayça have answered the call and added a
“Recommended” module to the themes system. You can use it to let
other people know about interesting content you’ve discovered on Xanga.
Please try it out, and let us know any suggestions you may have on how to improve the
new feature!You can opt to show as many or as few recs as you like, which is a good thing for people who love recommending posts – just scroll over the module, click the edit icon and select the number of recs you’d like to display.
P.S. If you don’t know how to add a module to your themed page, please check out the help page.

Thanks Xanga!
I already see enough recs in my universal inbox dammit!
Thanks, it is great!!!
Cool, thanks!
This is a nice feature and I will give it a go over the next couple of weeks to see whether or not I like it.
I love the new rec module, its cool to be able to look back and see what Ive recommended!
Thanks!
cool
Very cool
Eh, I don’t use themes, nor do I intend to so this isn’t applicable to me.
I SO knew that it was John you’re linking to when you wrote people who love recommending posts
This is a great add on…Thank you!
I like it! You are all tempting me to start using the New Xanga…I think I’m resisting out of pure contraryness at this point.
How about a module listing your latest comments on others’ blogs? I think some of my most interesting contributions to xanga are the comments I leave for other people; it might be nice to have a way to get to conversations and discussions started by bloggers I like.
BADA BING!
@silence_of_words -
ESP! i wondered if anyone would get that.
@Natalia - I bet most of those who are subscribed to John did ^_^
oooooo fun :]
Damn, You guys keep churning out the awesome… like butter… only with code…
I can dig this.
Xo
Sweet! I probably won’t use it but another nifty module as an option never hurts!
@mama_jess - I feel like that too, the best ideas are the ones I leave on other’s sites. But the problem is, not all of my comments are that great, so a module would show good and bad, unless you could chooose to remove specific comments from it.
I rarely visit other xanga blogs to even reccoment it, but this is good if I do come across a good entry.
hm.. yay
now add a archives module SEPARATE from the calendar as well
Thanks for the new module.
I love this idea! It is really good. The only problem is how will it work for people who don’t have the themes system on? I have a look & feel layout so how would it work with that?
Great idea though. I love recommending people!
Hahahahaaaaa…..figures John would recommend this!
THANK YOU! =]
it’s not one i’ll likely use, but thanks anyways for all the hard work you guys do to improve the site.
roflmao @ the john reference!
I had already add the module last night, before you write this post! XD
This must be a good feature, I like it!!!
Oh, I have a recommend. Can you make a page just for recommendation, just like the Weblog and Pulse module? This will make all the recommendation easy to read.
very nice…i like it. Thank ya’ll
cool
I’m diggin’ on the RECOMMEND feature!
Nice feature but then again I would be also diverting people’s attention away from my site.
Lol. This new add on is nice. Hopefully, Xangans would use it too. =D
Does anyone know if this will recommend only Xanga modules, or will it recommend Custom Module scripts as well?
Anyway…good going, I always look for ideas on making my blog look better from others
This new feature is useful (and organized) for when I come across posts that are worth recommending, though that has yet to happen. Guess I must keep on searching for one.
Hi Xanga.
How come now the Daily Digest system no longer works?That means my subscribers did not receive any email update even when I post new entries?
i love it. it’s a great way to let your subs and friends know about other great sites out there
I don’t know where I should comment about this, but I have not been getting my Subscription Digest for the past week!! I have had problems with it before, but after a few days it’ll start again. Is there something I should do? I never changed my settings on my blog, ect. Thanks for your help!!
Bollocks to recommending people, why has my subscriptions daily digest stopped sending to my email address? It randomly stopped a few days ago, no warning, no nothing. What’s going on?
how come I’m not receiving any emails for my Xanga subscription digest?
HELP! My xanga subs emails stopped working sometime last week. I’ve checked all of my settings, and none have been changed. What is going on. Someone please help me.
@TimSMitchell - It’s not working for me either! You’re not alone Timothy Shane
Hmm… I don’t have that module as an option to add to my theme. Anyone know why?
join my blog plz…

Wow, I actually think that seems like a bit much, but so long as I don’t have to have one, I guess it’s not a problem.
BEST BLOG EVER ON XANGA.
Yes, we’re talking about me here. Our Lovely Condition. Because the Condition of the World today is that I have the BEST BLOG ON XANGA and you should probably do the world a favor and FEATURE ME.
Sorry, ahem…I meant FEATURE ME FEATURE ME FEATURE ME.
the end.
nice, thx a lot
People are recommending waaay too much now HAH!
good job, xanga team, and thank you! =)
Will this ever be for photos and videos, too?
I don’t have it.
@melodymassacrexxx - In my opinion, i don’t think this “recommended” module can be using while you don’t have the Xanga themes system on.
That’s mean you can’t use this recommended module if you are using look & feel layout.Why don’t you try to use the Xanga themes right now?
tried it out!
it is a nice function ^^”
i think it would be better if the user can choose to show picture or not,
add some kind of comment on it etc.
@judopiu112 - It isn’t that big of a deal. I love the module but I like my layout capailities with look & feel. The theme is too high-tech with me. I might conform eventually, but i’m good right now. It just isn’t a bid deal to me.
It would be very very nice to have the module while using look & feel but I will just have to wait for that capability. Now worries. I’m very patient.
@melodymassacrexxx - I see your point ^^ and many of my friends are same as you.
Hope that there will be a combination system soon ^^”
Good luck and have a nice day ^^”
@neuwifeblogs - What is your problem?May i help you??
I’m wondering if firefox is causing problems. I clicked on “edit modules”, and I forget the exact wording of the error message, but it was something to the effect that this service was unavailable at this time. But my friends are using it, so I know it must be me.
I’ll just use Internet Explorer sometime and just keep clicking until I get it right.
@judopiu112 - Thanks, though. I usually don’t publicly air my frustration like that!
@neuwifeblogs - Whaha! It is my pleasure to be honored
Feel Free to contact me if there are any things i can help^^”
Is this also how one gets featured? By being recommended?
@neuwifeblogs - I think that there should be some mistakes or i may misunderstood but in my opinion, I think that there should have no “edit modules” this button in the step when you are trying to use this moudle?
I have tried IE and Firefox and there are no mistake if you follow the step showing below if you want to add “Recommended” Module:
1. Go into your own xanga page first : http://xanga.com/neuwifeblogs
2. Click “Edit Theme” next to “visiting your site” on the top of the page
3. Click “Add Module” which is next to the “Remix Theme” on the Popup showing on the top after Clicked ” Edit Theme”
4. There should have 29 Module buttom showing under the title – “Remix Theme” and “Add Module”
5. Don’t Click on the “Edit your module” and “browse all module”
6. Click the last buttom “Recommended” and you can just drag your Recommended Module anywhere in your xanga and share the recommendations you’ve made with people visiting your site.
P.S : I have uploaded a picture related to the information showing above
Maybe i have misunderstood your problem or whatever.Just try to say it out if there are any things more i can help you^^”
