that means* Frequently Asked Questions* for all you [smart ones] out there...
***BE SURE t0 READ ALL 0F tHESE BEF0RE YOU L00K At tHE LAY0UtS***
Can i iM you if i don't understand something? You may iM me for only that reason. do not iM me and say 'who's this?' when you obviously know it's me. and you may only ask me a question about a layout if you have read all of my Q&A below.
Can iM you just to talk. you seem cool will you be my friend? Um..no. i have my own friends. if i wanted you to iM ME i would say "i have no life. please iM ME and become my friend!!"and if you need some friends go to a chatroom or something.
Will you make my friend a layout? No. i am not taking requests at the time. and even if i was you would have to fill out the form i have and 'comment' it back on my site. i dont like taking requests on iM bcz if i am done with a layout and you tell me to iM you when im finished;; i will most likely not remember your screen name.
How long does it take to make a layout? it usually takes me 15-20-30 minutes maybe up to an hour or so. it depends on what im doing;; if im actually at my comp the whole time;; and if i take breaks to do other things.
Will you have more layouts soon? Maybe. Maybe not. my life doesn't revolve around making you layouts. i make them in my spare time;; usually late at night or early in the morning;; when im bored basically.
Will you let me know when you add new layouts? No i will not. You will just have to check back on my site if you want to see. D0 N0t iM ME everyday asking me 'do you have any new layouts yet??' i had a person do that to me before and it got so fucking annoying! if you wanna know if there's a new layout then just go to my site! its not that hard. then look for the little 'moodchanging smiley' by a layout. this means it is new like i have explained below on my layouts.
How do i use a layout? Ok click on one of my layouts 'obviously' and copy the code below where it says "Copy the entire code" on the blog. Sign into your xanga. Go to the left table and click 'Look & Feel' once you are there go to Custom Header. Then go to the little scroll thing and change the setting to 'Input Your Own HTML Code' or something like that. That is where you paste your code. Then go to the bottom and press preview or save. That's it!
Can i change your layout? if you want to change it [although i suggest you dont bcz im sure you have no clue what you are doing] if you do change it and you mess everything up. D0 N0t ask me to help you fix it! i made the layouts the way i wanted them and having you change & screw them up is not my problem.
Will you teach me how to make layouts? no i will not. i had to learn on my own so you will just have to learn on your own too.
How do i put music on my page? You can simply go to your 'Look & Feel' and paste a simple code into where it says Backround Music. or you can get a Dropdown Playlist.
Where do i get this so called Dropdown Playlist? You can get one here at my girl Shelbi's site: http://www.xanga.com/xxghetto_codes4uxx
Will you put my songs on there for me? HELL N0! i have done wayy too many playlists for people bcz i try to be nice to you guys. but i had to learn how to put them in there so im sure you can figure it out!
Okay. Then can you explain how i make one?? Sure;; okay copy the playlist code from the site given above. paste it into your 'Custom Header' in your Look&Feel. Now go to a music site and get the codes.
What's a music site that's best or that you use? i always go to this site: www.xanga.com/music_galore or this one: http://www.xanga.com/MUSIC_911
Now im at the site how do i get the codes and put them into my playlist? 1. Okay search for a band or artist that you would like. click on their link and a new site will popup. D0 N0T close this it is not a 'annoying popup' it is your site for codes. 2. There you will find songs from the band/artist. click PLAY to listen to it if you would like before you copy the code. 3. Now.. **RiGHT CLiCK** the word PLAY and a table will come up 'just like when you copy&paste' 4. Then select the word PR0PERTiES. 5. Look at the table and go to where it says 'ADDRESS URL' 6. Copy this code only!!
Now go to your playlist. 1. Go to where it says >S0NG - ARTiST< 2. Type in the song and artist or type in w/e you would like to show up on your playlist. D0 N0T ERASE THE " > < " -if you do it will mess up your entire playlist!! 3. Now go down farther on your playlist to where it says "S0NG URL HERE" 4. Erase the words "song url here" and paste your code into the space. **D0 N0T ERASE THE QUOTES--" "** xxNow you are basically done with one song. you just keep repeating those steps to put in the rest of the songs.
Can i have more than 3 or 5 songs? Yes you can. i would suggest asking someone [not me] who has done a playlist before to help you though. But if you want more songs just keep copying the <song value="#"> blahblah"</option> over and over where the other ones are but REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE NUMBER! -Now that you have that you have to go down to where you paste the code. you do the same thing there. keep typing -- songs[#]=" " *AND THAtS it!*
if i have any other questions can i iM you still? Yes you may. but if i am 'away' do not. bcz i most likely wont come back in time to help you. if i dont answer right away to your iM dont keep iMiNG me with question marks! like 'hey.' 'are u there?' '??' '????' if i am at my computer at all i will answer you in like 5 seconds if i am not busy talking to my friends or something. if i am away from my comp without an awy up then just wait like 1 minute.
Mmkay. Thank you to everyone who actually read every single one of those. i appreciate it. bcz im sick of people asking me retrarded questions and wanting to be my friend.
Note: im sorry if i may sound like a bitch. im really not but it realyl does get annoying when people iM ME and ask me extremely dumb questions =]
But i do appreciate it when people iM ME telling me they like my layouts. thanks guys!
