Set Up Your Xanga Profile

While setting up your profile you are going to tell your Xanga weblog's readers a little about you. For every part of the profile that you fill out you can decide whether that part should be shown on your profile or hidden. You only have to tell as much as you are comfortable telling about you on your Xanga profile. tip: Never give out your phone number, address, place or work or anything else that can lead someone to you.

First you will fill out a little bio about yourself. Tell your weblog's readers who you are. People are more likely to read a weblog and come back to read it again if they know who they are reading about.

The next section asks for personal information, don't answer anything you feel uncomfortable answering. They want you to list your name, country, state, zip code, birthday and gender. You could use a nickname instead of your real name if you want to. The rest is pretty safe. They also want to know if you want your email address listed on your weblog, this is entirely up to you. Your Xanga weblog's address is here. You can copy this and email it to your friends.

If you have an instant messenger and want people to be able to contact you with it you can put your IM number here. Next list your hobbies and interests, expertise, occupation and industry. When you are finished with this page of the setup wizard click the "Next" button. On the next page choose the city closest to you and click "Next" again.
