"Recommended" Module
Many of you have asked for a way to share the recommendations you've made with people visiting your site. Patrick and Ayça have answered the call and added a "Recommended" module to the themes system. You can use it to let other people know about interesting content you've discovered on Xanga. Please try it out, and let us know any suggestions you may have on how to improve the new feature!
You can opt to show as many or as few recs as you like, which is a good thing for people who love recommending posts - just scroll over the module, click the edit icon and select the number of recs you'd like to display.
P.S. If you don't know how to add a module to your themed page, please check out the help page.

This is a nice feature and I will give it a go over the next couple of weeks to see whether or not I like it.

Eh, I don't use themes, nor do I intend to so this isn't applicable to me.

I like it! You are all tempting me to start using the New Xanga...I think I'm resisting out of pure contraryness at this point.

How about a module listing your latest comments on others' blogs? I think some of my most interesting contributions to xanga are the comments I leave for other people; it might be nice to have a way to get to conversations and discussions started by bloggers I like.

Sweet! I probably won't use it but another nifty module as an option never hurts!

@mama_jess - I feel like that too, the best ideas are the ones I leave on other's sites. But the problem is, not all of my comments are that great, so a module would show good and bad, unless you could chooose to remove specific comments from it.

I rarely visit other xanga blogs to even reccoment it, but this is good if I do come across a good entry.

I love this idea! It is really good. The only problem is how will it work for people who don't have the themes system on? I have a look & feel layout so how would it work with that?

Great idea though. I love recommending people!
