My Brother in law Seth recently stumbled across another free blogging site that seemed to be quite good at first glance. http://www.vox.com Vox says it puts the fun back into blogging, with the promise that it is easier to create a beautiful post then it is to write and send an email.

Vox allows the ability to combine words, audio and videos into your post easily. There is also a privacy level, giving you the ability to only allow certain people to view what you post. This allows a lot more security and the creation of more intimate online social circles. It however does have a large enough database of online users to give your blog some quick promotion if it is your intention to let the world read what you want to say.

Theme design is something that they believe (the vox crew) they have done well. They allow a number of designs and the easy ability to change template skins with a few clicks.

After taking their on line tour I thought I would give it a go. Sign up was easy with an email verification code. I had to select the skin in preview as the apply design button did not work but I did eventually get my two click design.

They have a number of groups which are in better condition then yahoo or google groups. A lot less traffic unfortunately, but you may get your group seen by those who are using vox.

All in all it seems like a nice easy to use blogging solution for a quick hassle free, free blog.
