For every item on Vox—a text paragraph, a photo, a link—bloggers can determine if it is to be public or private and, if it is private, exactly who can see it.

She also has a daily “Yay Me Update” just for herself, in which she uploads self-portraits from her mobile phone in order to preserve a chronicle of her life for her descendants—uninterrupted except for that time when she gained a bit more weight than she cared to commit to memory and conveniently forgot to post for a few days.<br /></p></blockquote><p><br />- <a href="http://www.economist.com/printedition/displayStory.cfm?story_id=8317556&amp;fsrc=RSS">The Universal Diarist</a>, The Economist, 11.23.06</p><p>Considering I&#39;ve posted over 50 times on Vox this month (in even my most verbose Negro Please months, I don&#39;t think I got more than 20 posts live), it is no secret that I&#39;m in love with Vox.</p><p>Just this week: my silly excitement over a new hobby got me on the front page; I&#39;ve conversed with people as far away as Singapore; I&#39;ve written personally -- intimately-- about my family and my personal thoughts with only a few people having access; I&#39;ve shared music in ways that I haven&#39;t before; I&#39;ve collected internet minutiae strictly for my own purposes; and, sweet cracker sandwich, I&#39;m having fun blogging again.</p><p>Blogging hasn&#39;t been this fun in years for me.</p><p>There are improvements I&#39;m hoping for in this service but that&#39;s for another post.</p><p>For today, I&#39;ll just say, &quot;Yay Vox!!&quot;<br /> </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://negroplease.vox.com/library/post/yay-vox.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c10e0f6f1fd3b400cd96fee5684cd5?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> six apart blogging vox mena trott the economist
