Check it out, we made the Vox Explore page with the Recipe Exchange group! No surprise with the excellent recipes that are popping up – everything from Nic‘s Home made cured bacon to shelaker‘s Gooey Butter Cake
I have changed my theme again. Primarily because Vox just launched the Toronto cityscape!!! Though I wish we had something cool like Paris’ gargoyle enlarged in the corner. Maybe a peameal sandwich? A streetcar? A city-moose? The CETO logo? Humm.. what could we have in the corner?
180px-GreatPumpkin Show us a great pumpkin. “A great pumpkin”? There is only one Great Pumpkin and while I have waited and watched for him in the pumpkin patch on many an All Hallows’ Eve, I have yet to see him let alone photograph him. Will we be on the hunt for photos of Santa, Cupid and the Easter Bunny next? Mythical creatures beware.
Okay, without going into the rant both my parents subjected me to when I used the word “weird” for anything other than the preternatural, I will respond to the essence of the question: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten? Submitted by Megan. By name: Monkeygland Burger from a street vendor at Sam Levy’s Village in Harare Zimbawbe. By texture: Uni sushi or perhaps the sensation of those bubble tea bubbles hitting the back of my throat. By taste: Bear Chili. It’s the first meat I’ve ever eaten that I really disliked… and I really disliked it. If you think…
Everyone loves the QotDs. It’s like someone out there in Vox-land is interested in knowing every little detail about us: our favourite candy, our middle names, words we’ve made up, our nicknames and where we’ve lived. It’s so easy to answer and the questions are so innocuous and seductive. We want to share. We want comments and interaction. We want attention. Or at least most of us do. So we answer. It’s no big deal telling our readers what our first pet’s name was, is it? We’re safe here in Vox-land, right? So what if you can put a Voxer’s…
Many of the people I know who are using Vox already have and maintain popular blogs – personal and professional. But Vox has been attractive and/or interesting enough to draw us over to check it out. My friend Kate notes that she is “writing a comparison between Vox and other mainstream oriented blogging software.” Vox is still new and evolving (see the ever growing template options), so I’m wondering what you think of Vox so far? How are you using it? What is Vox to you? I’d love to see this as a QotD, but I think it’s unlikely to…
Notes [Manually cross-posted from unsweetened.ca] A while ago while flailing about looking for a multi-contributor hosted blogging product I signed up to be notified of a new product the folks at SixApart were working on. At that point I thought it would allow me to setup multiple individual blogs and provide the ability to have all the sub-blog posts consolidate into a single overarching master-blog. Then just last week I received an invite to setup a Vox account. Vox is SixApart‘s a new turnkey “blogging and sharing” tool. “Woo Hoo!” I thought to myself, “let’s see what this puppy can…

Thanks For Commenting
Today’s pathetic dial-in NaBloMoPo post is brought to you by Commenting – it’s not just for spamming anymore. Do you ever find that somedays your comments on other people’s posts are more inspired and interesting than anything you can dredge out of your brain for your own blog? Well, today is definitely one of those days, so you will get my “inspiration” in tiny tiny little bites: on QotD: I’ll Have Two Boxes, Please — Fudgee-Os are, by far, the best manufactured cookie in existence. Anyone who says otherwise must have had some childhood tastebud trauma leaving them badly damaged…
