Design Tools:  

Themes can be viewed by, well, theme: activities, animals, branded, cityscapes, clean/minimalist, food/drink, illustrated, nature, pattern/texture, photo-based or seasonal/holiday. There are quite a few from which to choose, but what you see is what you get. And that’s fine for many beginners. Vox does give you the option to personalize your banner using color and a photo of your choice.

However, there is no photo gallery on Vox. You can store your photos in a library and they do offer ways to upload from your Flickr, Photobucket or iStockPhoto account.
Other limitations to this free service include 2GB monthly upload limit resets at the first of each month. This means that you can upload up to 2GB of photos, videos, and audio per month from your computer. The limit doesn't apply to items that aren't uploaded from your computer, so you're not limited in how many items you can add to your blog from Amazon, YouTube, iFilm, and iStockPhoto.

In addition to the monthly upload limit, each asset type has its own upload limit per file. You can see those limits below. Again, these limits are only in place for items uploaded from your computer.

• Photos: 10 MB
• Audio: 25 MB
• Videos: 50 MB
   

Publishing and Tracking Tools:  

Vox promotes its own community, choosing posts and photos to display daily under the Explore Vox tab. Choose from blogs about culture, entertainment, life, music, news & politics or technology. They also supply you with tips and tricks to aid you in your blogging. To begin you can answer the Vox question of the day.

In the editor you can choose to insert an item: photos, audio, videos, books, collections, or you can select “embed” which opens an HTML/CSS code editor. There is no spell check in the editor though.

Tech Support/Help:  

Vox offers a self-serve knowledge base to answer any questions that may arise about your usage of this blog software. It is searchable so you can go there any time of the day or night and input the subject of your query. They also have feedback links so can let them know if the answers are useful or not.

The Team Vox blog also addresses user issues as well as news about the program.

Vox is a great, easy tool for having fun with the blogging community. It is free and easy to use, but there are many limitations. Vox does support Amazon affiliations, though and you can choose to have your blog public, private or protected. This program does support RSS feeds however Vox offers few tracking tools other than comments.
