sort by rating … who knew?!
i’ll be the first to admit: i’m a “top blogs” fanatic.
you’ll find some of the BEST stuff there, fo’ reals.
but did you know you could SORT them by RATING? that’s right, folks, our sites are rated — not only by YOU, but potentially, the people that READ you. you can also adjust an individual post’s ratings accordingly, but i digress.
(if you use xanga themes, click on your site. look at your top bar … a little to the left … there! see “your rating”? click it. voila!)when you switch up your filter, you see different blogs in different positions (and sometimes, just DIFFERENT content overall!)
my general rating is a “B”, so this is what i see by default:
when i move it to “C”, though, ATTR takes over the top spot and dan drops out of the top four. weird, right?!
btw, the rating will always show you that rating and ABOVE, at “B”, i only see “A” and “B” rated blogs. this keeps me from accidentally happening on something i don’t want to see (so unless you’ve submitted all the necessary forms, don’t worry about “EX”!)
now, go forth, good people! check your site’s rating and enjoy your new-found filter fun!
(the question that started it all remains: what rating do you sort your top blogs by? what is your site’s rating?)

Okayyyyy I always wondered what that was about.
Thanks Jen, appreciate the heads up.

Thanks for the tutorial Jen! I have mine defaulted at B. Funny how my current post is at spot #3 or 4, depending on A or B.
@wherever_we_go - no problem!!
@La_dolce_vida - we’ll go with #3
congrats again!
What if no one has ever rated your site…do you get a good grade by default. Educate me!!
@oeshpdog2 - think of it like movie ratings:
A= G
B= PG
C= PG-13
D= R
EX= NC-17
you can rate yourself AND people can rate you. most people don’t do the latter, but usually — if they’re really offended or shocked at what you say — they’ll slap a “higher” rating on the site.
THANKS!! I AM GONNA!!
I’ve never really paid that much attention to the ratings, but everyone seems to be talking about the rating system lately…
You need to explain it step by step , so computer morons like me , know what the hell you’re talking about.
Switch up my filter???? Filters are on the end of my cig girl!!!
@Bricker59 - at least the filter goes in the same end the beer does …
I use “B” too, and I love top blogs as well, I was lucky enough to get into it one time! =]
This could be fun! I’m way too easily amused with all of these gadgets. But couldn’t they be seriously abused? I mean, couldn’t some jerk say EX when it’s not just because…well, they’re a jerk?
@jediwa72 - yes … but i think you could contest it with the xanga team? i know that RaVnR had that problem a few weeks ago — she asked us to go in and “fairly” rate her. maybe it’s an “averages” thing?!
Very cool trick! I didn’t realize you could do that! Thank you for bringing it to our attention!
hehe… i’m rated C!
I am a profile rank of a B. but some of my chapters have higher rating because of content and swearing and because someone kills someone and blows their head off or something……
so each comment has different ratings.
i need to get off my fat ass and rate my blogrings; my pictures and rate my videos i can not hear because of a failed sound card……
God i wish i had more time and hours in a day to xanga more……
however i might not rate all that stuff because im a lazy asshole who doesnt really care about rating pictures……..
I am Basic
thanks for the xanga tut
xanga keeps adding so much little new stuff, it’s hard to always keep up.
Woo! There I be!
@mrsmarkwith - no problem at all!
@reallifedemo - i know!! TOP BLOGS for YOUUUU!!!
