Experiment in experimenting
I didn't think I'd be so amused by tinkering with my Vox account, but I am. It doesn't make sense. It's not as hackable as I like my blogging/writing/media-ing stuff to be, and I haven't found a layout I really like, but it amuses me. It's like a very perky mix of LJ, Friendster, Myspace/online uploading sites, and MovableType, with taggability and Web 2.0 goodness. I don't find the interface that intuitive, though, so I keep running around and bumping my nose into things.
Ah well! We learn by... doing! Or doing badly. Sayeth the girl who never reads manuals but will attempt to figure out software/hardware on her own, seldom with disastrous results (surprising, yes?).
I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with this. I'm thinking a media repository of all the graphicky noodling and stuff I do. Plus maybe commentaries on things. And even sound files! Or pictures! I don't know! It will probably be the most theme-specific out of all the bloggish/journally sites I keep -- the question is, what theme?

I know what you mean! It's just strangely fun. The LJ/Myspace/MT hybrid-ness of it makes it relatively flexible, although as you say it isn't hackable.
The interface needs work, definitely. Yesterady, I spent a half an hour just trying to remember where to go to change the blog title...
I really like the system with pictures and files and books and stuff. If I didn't already have a review site, this would be perfect, but yeah, a photolog or media repository is a good idea.
Yeah, the interface gets some getting used to..so easy to get lost o.O;;
Theme? For me it seems so hard to keep to a single theme with so much stuff to do :P
(eep! I have to leave home in a few minutes...rawr! vox can be quite a distraction x.x)
I'm glad that they have layout built in for the crowd of people that doesn't understand how weave the various coding languages into something nice. Cause we don't need more layout monstrosities like those that exsist on myspace *shudder*.
@radiotrash: Oh, myspace layouts... ugh. Haha. I do agree that it's nice that there are built-in layouts, I just wish there were a way to tinker with them somehow -- for example, I really like this theme's colors, but I want to change the graphics. :D
@goofydelinquent: Haha! You're addicted! Oh no!
@daimira: I sent a feedback that went, basically, "I wish there were a links page or blogroll or something like that." Because with so much stuff to put here, naturally you start thinking about those sites that you find interesting and wish you could share those links...
I'm getting a little obsessed with putting most of my recent books in "Books," but then sometimes I realize just how many books I've lost :/
(Move your review site hereeeee! Muhahaha.)
Oh, don't tempt me~! My current review site took WEEKS of hard work to code! I don't want to throw all that away ;_;
XDDDDDDDDDDD
You won't have to throw it away, not necessarily~
