You can't tie a blogwhore down.
I've finally settled on a WordPress blog. Not as customisable as blogger, but it has great web stats and is much easier to structure. The benefits over a Vox account are again, the web stats, plus the ability to allow external readers to comment (Wordpress has an excellent anti-spam feature to prevent verbal diahorrea being plastered all over the place in the form of "viagra4-u-now!!!" comments) That's always been a huge downside for me with Vox - I left behind all my friends who don't have Vox accounts. If open commenting opens up with Vox, I'll think about moving back home. ;)

I plan on reading the blogs I'm signed up to here - and I haven't decided whether I'll cross post or not (Wordpress has no auto-cross posting feature for Vox). Vox's major attraction was it's gorgeous themes, the ability to cross post and the more 'personal' nature of the blogs and bloggers.. However, I'm sold on the open commenting of Wordpress. I'm also sold on the rss/atom/email feeds. And I'm officially moving out (until Vox does something else to impress me - then the blogwhore will move again, probably!)
I still plan on reading my neighbourhood posts, and may cross post entries to Vox (that sounds like hard work.. Maybe not, eh?)

I'll stop in and see you at your new place. Have some tea and scones ready, will you?
I do love Vox, but as much as I hate to admit it - it just doesn't cut it anymore.. it's MUCH prettier than wordpress, but wordpress has the stats, which is like blog-porn to me ;)
I've had alot of wine tonight. Can you tell? Paha!
Having said that, I love everything about Wordpress, except that you can't customise it as much as I'd like..
The thing I love best about your blog, is the photos and stories. Any photos/images I've ever used have been just to help tell a story - they never actually tell a story. I think Vox's great advantage is that it makes it so easy to post media.. I can understand why you tend to use Vox now - but I just don't think it's for me..
I think I've finally found home :) (Not that it'll stop me from playing with new blog platforms!)
