QotD: What I Love About Vox

In honor of Vox's launch tomorrow, what's your favorite feature or aspect of Vox?

Okay, I'm a bit biased because I work on Vox, but my absoutely favorite aspect of Vox has to be the wonderful people that I have "met" through Vox. There's too many to name, so just take a look at my Neighborhood to check out some of the fascinating people sharing stories about their lives, friends, and family.

Although I have been blogging since 1999 over at lilia.com, I blogged too infrequently to ever build an audience, and my real life friends never took an interest in my old blog. Since I started blogging on Vox, I have felt a real sense of community that was lacking before. Also, it's just soooooo easy to blog here: adding photos, video, audio, books and collections is a snap, and I don't need to fuss with HTML and CSS. I can change my Vox theme to suit my mood since we now have over 165 themes!

I truly appreciate anyone who reads my Vox, and sincerely wanted to thank you all for being such great people!

Glad to have you as a neighbor. Also glad that you have had me as a neighbor as well so that we can share our experiences together.

Off-Topic: Please...Peeps theme for Easter!

Ditto, you've been a fantastic Voxer! We'll see what we can do as far as a Peep-like Easter theme. We don't want to get sued by Peeps HQ. ;)

I completely agree... I've been a blogger (in various online incarnations) since 1998 and love the sense of community here on Vox. The fact that Vox meet-ups are have been set up by users in various cities says that a lot of other Voxers feel that community too. Also, the ability to integrate the audio and visual is so great.

No...Thank you for your hard work at Six Apart, you personally allowing me to become one of your neighbors. I wish you, your hubby many blessings, don't stop being a shutterbug.

You're the best. :-) Check out what I posted today...hope you share this with the staff at Six Apart. :-)

Then obviously we should do a deal with them!

Mark, you're absolutely right! Maybe we can suggest this to Patty. ;)

I always poked around your old blog, but I agree Vox definately has a sence of real community. Now get Vox to San Diego please!!

i totally agree with everything that you've said. I often find with having such an easy way of adding pictures and video and music to my posts... that i'll acutally find more things to write about ...

yay vox!

it was good to meet you here as well. thanks for the day of the dead theme. it's awesome and so are you.

@ A Girl Friday: I'm not sure when there will be a Vox party in Southern California, but if I hear about anything, I will keep you posted.

@weirdo: I'm glad that you like the Day of the Dead theme. :) Thanks for the kind words too!

The shoutout to the peeps had me LoL'ing.

I agree about the sense of community. I am so compelled to blog here, more than other places. And I've scrapped my website's blog to just send people here. It's a nice setup.

I'm happy to be in your neighborhood. You are quite awesome.

Likewise, Lilia! If you could do that SoCal Vox party somewhere between SD and LA that would be even better.:)

So many people have talked about all the amazing people they've met through Vox for this QotD. I couldn't agree with you more so I'll just say: ditto.

Btw, thanks for all the work you've done with the banners. My banner looks really wonderful... thank you!

the pic of the peeps is rad!!!

i love vox because of the new people i've met...people like you! i love it, best blogging place for me. :D

[Ez jó] It's good to be not only your Vox neighbor but also your cube neighbor! :-)
