Ask her who makes all the themes.....and when more are coming....I love all the themes =D
Hey Leo,
A couple of things, since I've started using this service I'd love for you to ask her.
1. Why did they start Vox? Did it have anything to do with Blogger's stagnant development?
2. How has it been working with your husband throughout all this? Benefits/negatives about it?
3. Are "Pro" accounts in the future? Ever any revenue sharing oppourtunities if a real power-blogger...say Dvorak wanted to move his blog over to Vox?
4. How far will Vox take the community aspect of things? Kevin Rose recently announced on the Digg blog (http://diggtheblog.blogspot.com/2006/07/integrating-digg-within-your-website.html) that they have enabled two new methods for integrating digg directly within your website. Their API release is to come soon. Would integration of Digg into Vox blogging be something feasible. Is Vox really open to integration of any service it sees valuable to its users or that users want?
Thats it, sorry if its too much, I just have been on a Vox thing the past couple days since I found out about it through TWiT and am really liking what I see so far, if those questions were answered I'd really appreciate it.
Future support for RSS so you can put your digg feed or something of that sort on the page. (if its there, then i dont know where it is)
Why Vox? What is going to make Vox stand apart or head and shoulders above all the other players in the market? What things will we see that will set Vox apart, and also lead the blogging trend, 3 months, 6 months or a year from now? Were there no more challenges with Typepad and MoveableType, for you to conquer? Will there be a "Vox 1.0" or a "Teach Yourself Vox," book in time for our Christmas shopping?
To Pswansen:
By Why Vox do you mean the name? Cause its italian or latin for "Voice."
Hello Leo,
Why can't I have embeded video playing on my main page? It creates a picture and then you have to go to a second page to watch the embeded video. I have noticed on your site that you have a embeded video on the main page. thanks.
Have there been many bugs so far, can you give an estimated end-of-beta date?
Hi Leo
I'd love to know why Six Apart created Vox as a separate blogging platform to TypePad and whether users of TypePad will find some of the features of Vox in TypePad in the near future?
Thanks. I look forward to the podcast.
[Question 1]
Will there be an ability to add images to the audio we post? Such as an album cover or at least something to better indicate what people are clicking on is.
[Question 2]
Will Vox open up on editing layouts like Blogger?
This is probably too late, but I'll throw in my 2 cents.
In addition to the insightful points above (particularly those about an end-of-beta date, additional layouts, and whether or not "pro" accounts are in the future -- by the way, does anybody know if Vox is still going to be a free service when it's out of the beta stage? ), I have some questions of my own.
1. What was the reasoning behind creating Vox to play so well with TypePad?
2. Is there any hope for some sort of Pandora (http://www.pandora.com) integration with Vox in the future? It's a big part of my music experience (as well as for many other people), and I think it deserves a place in Vox.
3. I realize that Six Apart has been very clear that Vox will be a turnkey platform, distinctly different from LJ or TypePad. However, will there be any room for tweaking blog design settings in the future, or should those who want to modify their blog in minor ways (tweak color schemes or add a personal banner image) look into different Six Apart services like LiveJournal and TypePad?
PLEASE ask about TAGS support for Typepad! I would like to know the rationale behind LiveJournal having this but Typepad not having it.
