I put the background image in my look and feel settings, and it's not showing up... what gives?


There are several reasons this could be happening:

  1. First, are you sure there isn't a typo somewhere? Copy-and-paste your link to your background image into another browser to make sure that your URL is correct.
  2. Next, make sure you've uploaded your image to an online server somewhere! You can't use a background that is stored on your local hard drive for your Xanga background, or for any web site. You need to upload your image to a server, or link to an image that has already been uploaded to a server.
  3. If you're sure your background image has been properly uploaded to a server, it's possible that the background image has been "remotely blocked" or it's hit certain bandwidth restrictions. You can read more about that in this FAQ:
