John’s Xanga sites
Item 1: Xanga Personal Blog
Xanga is a website similar to Myspace and Facebook. A good way to think about blog sites is that they are like the doors of a dorm room. In college, students decorate their doors to express who they are and show their friends what their interests are. With a personal blog students can design the layout of their site as they see fit and also post pictures of anything from their favorite cartoon character to their favorite actor. Using different applications students can make their own designs and show them to their friends.
Item 2: Xanga musician sites
Xanga provides options for musicians to present their art in new and creative ways. As well as designing their own layout, they may advertise their own music. Here they design their own site and make it coincide with their music and with the music videos and other art they produce.
Item 3: Xanga Photography Blog
Photography is another avenue of art affected by Xanga. Professional photographers can create their own design from the ground up rather than using what the site provides for them. On top of this they use the site to advertise their work.
