I was trying to post a blog post about Twitter.com and when I finally clicked save all I got was a dot "." and my last paragraph hyper linked. This is fairly annoying and if it has happened to anyone else please tell me.
This is when I wish that Vox had the auto save feature that Google incorporates into its products so nicely.
I have been using WordPress for several months but I have never found it very exiting or interesting. I was not posting much and the amount of people coming to view my blog was declining rapidly. The I found Vox. It is my impression that Vox is here to get people to Blog often. Here is my first look at Vox:
Registration
The registration process was easy and was very quick. It started by asking for my email address. Then it sent me a conformation code which I copied then pasted into the registration page letting me move on. Then it took you to your normal average registration form which I found no flaws with and no set-backs. Then It asked me if I wanted to tell anyone about my new blog and had me fill in all the email addresses of them. I also picked other blogs to link to, this came up in registration as well. Then I was finished with a very simple registration.
Total time spent: About 5 minutes
First Take
Vox seems very well written and the interface was beautiful. It makes you want to post all over again just because it looks so damn nice. When I first entered I was brought to a page showing several links to do things like edit my profile, edit picture, post content, etc. The whole process was fairly easy(setting up profile and avatar etc.). The online word processor that is the Vox posting mechanism reminded me of Writely. Its interface was beautiful and it let you get right down to the point instead of wating time trying to have things show up where you want them.
Conclusion
Vox is one of the best written and most intuitive blogging engines I have ever seen. I highly recommend trying it or at least checking out more Vox blogs to see how Vox lets you personalize your blog!
