How do I use Xanga Backgrounds?
Steps to place a background on your Xanga
Here are the steps to place a background on your Xanga:
- You can use search engines on the Internet to find sites that contain the images which you want to use. However, do not forget to ask for permission before using the images in case the images are copyrighted. In most cases they are copyrighted.
- Save the image onto your hard drive.
- Upload the background to one of the available online image-hosting servers. A popular image-hosting site is photobucket.com. Note down the URL of the uploaded image.
- Paste the URL on the editor located at the background image section.
- Do not forget to save the changes you have made in your Xanga profile.
Background Image Common Problems
A. Background Image Not Appearing
One of the most common problems of background image is the image not appearing on your site. Here are some solutions to this problem:
- Check the URL link of the image that you have pasted on the background image section.
- Double check that you have uploaded the image to an online server. You cannot use images on your pc or on online sites as Xanga background images. You should properly upload the images to servers. You can also link to background images that were already uploaded to the servers.
- If you are sure that the background image has already been uploaded to a server but still does not appear, it is likely that the image is blocked or does not pass the bandwidth restrictions.
B. Background Images are the only Things Seen on the Xanga Profile
Another common problem when it comes to Xanga background images happens when the images are the only things that can be seen on the profile. In such cases, all your quotes and texts usually disappear from your profile. This problem usually takes place when you choose a font color that is similar to the color of your background image.
Let us say your font color is white and you have chosen a background image colored white, it is unlikely that texts will appear. To solve this problem, you have to choose a background that is darker in color to allow the font color to appear and be readable in the presence of the background.
