Have you ever wanted to try blogging, but were afraid of the technical aspects? Fear not, I’ve got the perfect solution for you.

Go to www.vox.com, sign up for an account, and start blogging. Everything else will be taken care of by them. It is that simple. And it is absolutely free!! Here are some great features:

- Ever afraid of not knowing what to blog about? Everyday there’s a new “Question of the day” that you can answer.

- It is very easy to explore other blogs on Vox and see what other people are saying. If you have a weird hobby, I am sure you’ll find plenty of people who share your passion, and that you can “talk to”.

- Ever wanted to talk about a book, DVD or album and leave a link to it for your readers? Now you can easily import any product from Amazon.com into your posts, which will have a nice image and link back to Amazon.

- What about photos? Ever wanted to write a post with a photo? Now it is easier than ever. You can upload directly from your harddrive, or import them from your Flickr/Photobucket/iStockphoto account.

- And you can also upload any audio or video file and include in your post. For example you can share your favorite music, or a family video.

- With Vox you can change the look of your blog in very simple steps. You won’t need to worry about designing your blog, and incurring into problems during implementation.

- Another very important feature is privacy. You can decide who has the right to see any single item in your blog: posts, photos, videos, audio etc… So if you have an embarrassing photo, you can allow your friends only to see it. Or your family members.

I’ve been using Vox for a few months, and blogging has never been more fun to me. If you don’t have a blog, please try Vox, you’ll have a lot of fun. And make sure to add me as your friend, my Vox Blog is ibc.vox.com.
