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, and ever since I can tell you it is definitely 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 since it allows posting by e-mail. To enable posting by e-mail go through the following steps:
-
Go to your account settings
-
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.
-
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:
-
Go into your blog’s settings
-
Go to your emai tab
-
Paste your Vox moblog email address
-
Now any post that goes to your Blogger account (I’ll talk about crossposting to blogger in a later thread)
For WordPress
-
Download a plugin that allows for publishing via e-mail ( I use DJ EmailPublish)
-
Go to your settings page and configure the plugin by pasting in the Vox moblog address
-
Save and apply settings
-
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.
