Creeva’s World 2.0

Vox is a blog com­mu­nity that really focuses on the com­mu­nity aspect.   When Xie first started blog­ging on vox I kind of poo pooed it.   How­ever I didn’t find some peo­ple that I knew from SWG that posted there, ever since I can tell you it is definetly a close knit com­mu­nity.   Since I’m a cross­poster I’m kind of on the out­side, but I reply to com­ments and Oh My Yod! is a blog I visit every other day.

Vox is one of the eas­ier ser­vices to cross­post to since it allows post by e-mail.  To enable post­ing by e-mail go through the fol­low steps:

1. Go to your account settings

2. Go to mobile set­tings — here you can get your moblog address (which you can post to from any e-mail address) and the set­tings you wish to apply to it.

3. Setup your account that you are cross­post­ing from (which can be any ser­vice that sends out emails)

There are two ser­vices I can rec­om­mend that you can use to post to Vox with (or bridge across with more on that around part 18), these are Blog­ger or a cus­tom word­press installation.

For Blog­ger:

1.  Go into your blog’s settings

2.  Go to your emai tab

3.  Paste your Vox moblog email address

4.  Now any post that goes to your Blog­ger account (I’ll talk about cross­post­ing to blog­ger in a later thread)

For Word­press

1. Down­load a plu­gin that allows for pub­lish­ing via e-mai ( I use DJ EmailPub­lish)

2. Go to your set­tings page and con­fig­ure the plu­gin past­ing in the Vox moblog address

3. Save and apply settings

4. Now any post that goes up on your word­press account cross­posts over to your vox account.

In part 3 I will be cov­er­ing cross­post­ing to live jour­nal, so I hope to see you then.
