Where to find a cute Xanga layout?

Lately, i have been exploring Xanga, an extensive social network that allows you to easily start your own free weblog, share photos and video etc’.
I firmly believe that social networks such as MySpace.com, Bebo and Xanga, can drive nice traffic to my blog, and in the upcoming months i might find some time to develop that case study and keep you posted on its progress.
After you set up your Xanga account, you can create a web, video or photo blog. I chose to create a weblog, and then looked for a suitable background that i can use. Here you actually have two choices: you can use layouts or themes. Layouts are customized html/CSS (cascading style sheets) scripts that can be added to your Xanga Look and Feel and give you a certain look for your site. Themes are a relatively new feature in Xanga, that consist of prepackaged layouts that you can modify using the new graphical look and feel editor (accessible when editing your weblog). I would like to recommend you to use Themes when possible. Layouts might be buggy, and require some technical understanding of HTML.
For your convenience, i compiled the top 5 sources of Xanga layouts and themes that you can easily implement in your Xanga weblog:
- The Xanga Themes forum - search the forum for some great themes made by other Xanga members.
- The Official Xanga Themes page - the best and more popular themes
- The Xanga Themes weblog – a nice Xanga weblog on themes
- Zangacity - very nice layouts
- Layout Xanga - cool layouts
Enjoy!

If i am not wrong i used Xanga 2 years back it was too compilcated to use at that time so i left.
I used orkut for quite sometime and felt that I was through with social networking sites. I currently use only facebook and that too, not so often
