This post is mainly to test my Vox integration, but will also serve as an update since I haven't written anything for a week.
So yes, Vox. I got an account a while ago to catch up with some friends, but other than doing the question of the day, I haven't been using it much. I'm not a huge fan of its dodgy WYSIWYG interface and the fact that it's full of AJAX and JavaScript means it's really slow to load (but really fast once it has!). Also, you can't customise the way it looks and that annoys me a lot. At least with LiveJournal you can change the colours and even make new layouts if you know how to use the overrides or have a paid account. With Vox, you can't even change the colours. Meh. I appreciate that it's still in beta, but it's being officially launched sometime next week (29th I think?) so I don't think they're planning too many changes. :\
Right then, I have a dissertation draft thing to finish before Wednesday morning and I have barely started it. Better go and do that, I think...

This is the first time I've been to vox.
What's its purpose would you say?
Good luck on your dissertation.

It's a blogging/journaling system a lot like LiveJournal (it's owned by the same people) with the exception that it allows you to integrate media and stuff into it. I only got one to keep up with a friend though, I hardly ever post in it.

I was trying to use it for blogging from my cell phone more but it seems like it always cuts off the entries if they are longer than a sentance, or around there. And then when I edit the post, it automatically has checked that it may be offensive! What's up with that!? lol
