Whack-O's
Whack-O's
Okay, I don't know what your political stand is concerning Xanga 2.0, but for me it's not so bad. I like the idea that comments are moderated. That takes care of so much garbage right off the bat and still leaves the site open to interested parties who aren't maliciously insane, mentally deranged or sexually depraved. No, I didn't cover all the possibilities. I wanted to leave something for you to share. We've all had our share of Whack-O's trolling, defecating, leaving twisted grafiti or otherwise spreading their disease and discontent about their own sorry excuses for a life. Quite a number of years ago I addressed the subject in a piece about Feeding the Monkeys. Since 2.0 all the titles are gone so I can't find it, but it is good.
And now for something completely different!
This font is too small. I don't like it and I can't find how to change it. Seems Xanga has locked up WordPress so they still get to hold you on the leash. I reckon that's what people do in this business. Oh, and what is pulse? We get two categories to start off with. Uncategorized and pulse. I still have a pulse, but it's not Xanga's fault. Okay. I surrender. The is me waving the white flag. Point me in the right direction and I'll try to figure it out.
What's your favorite Whack-O story? By favorite I think we know we didn't have to enjoy their insanity to appreciate their illness.

It won't help on pages you're reading but if you need the font bigger for you to check your own post, when you're in the box where you type your post, next to Visual, click on Text and put in the html for larger font, like , then write your post after that in that box. When you preview the post, all text on the page will be in a larger font size. If you publish it that way, it will appear in a larger font and your comments on that post will be larger too.
That's all I got. I'm new to WordPress and still trying to figure it out.
Thanks. I think I can work that out. If not I'll try to make up in content what I lack in panache.
Oh, and different themes will have different font sizes. I changed my theme because my first one actually had obnoxiously large text.
How does one change one's theme? Which one of the xanga gods do I have to appease?
So far as I can tell, there is one 'theme' right now. We have choices on the regular free WordPress site, which are not even offered here. I think it's sad that we have paid to use this 'new' Xanga...and get less functionality than 'free' WP has.
Yeah, just me, bitchin'. lol
Yeah, that's the way it looks from the Appearance-Themes in the Dashboard, but blunt_force_mama says she's changed her theme. I'm thinking there must be some way to do it. Of course it could be she got special treatment for having an awesome ass. Who knows what Rules 2.0 are these days?
Haha! Nope, Moniet is right. Xanga only has this theme. The theme I changed was on my other WordPress site. Please excuse my formerly and soon-to-be-again awesome ass.
Ah, okay. Thanks for clearing that up for us. Oh, and thanks for clearing up the awesome ass stuff too. If everybody had an awesome ass you'd have to have a really awesome, awesome ass to still have an awesome ass. Although, looking at some of the Walmart People Photos gives one pause to think about the word awesome. From my desktop dictionary, "Extremely impressive or daunting; inspiring great admiration, apprehension, or fear." LOL! Okay, enough of this AA stuff before someone hits us with a Big Book.
I think I like Xanga's version of WP better than the original WP, but only just. Took me... 15 minutes to find posts by the people I sub to...
Perhaps I'll figure out how to navigate eventually. Or not.
I suppose there is something to be said for fewer choices. It's more like our government, and perhaps we'll figure out how to navigate that eventually as well.
" interested parties who aren’t maliciously insane, mentally deranged or sexually depraved"
I guess that covers me in a sentence, lol
The only problem I see with this is when you know you've got a problem you've already come at least half way. I'm guessing you don't fit it very well as a whack-o. Unless of course you mean you're a whack-o because you don't fit in very well with the majority of the people on the planet who think they're not whack-o's.
