New Home

Vox friends & readers:

I feel very bittersweet announcing that I'm another person jumping ship: I'm moving Books, the Universe, and Everything over to Wordpress.

My main three reasons for leaving Vox are:
1. The requirement for people to register to leave comments.
2. The inability to control how much of each post gets published in the RSS feed. (I hate that RSS subscribers can't see my full posts.)
3. The lack of formatting and style control.

As long as my Vox friends are still interested, I will be posting links on Vox whenever I have new posts on Wordpress. You can comment on Vox, or on Wordpress - whatever you prefer.  

Additionally, if you'd like to stay up to date on my posts, you can subscribe to the RSS feed, or follow Books, the Universe & Everything on Facebook. (Links to new posts will appear in your news feed.)

My new Wordpress blog is located here:
http://www.booksuniverseeverything.com/

I have moved all 407 posts from Vox over to Wordpress - and each post links back to the original post on Vox to read the comments.

And while this definitely isn't goodbye, I just want to take a moment to thank all my Vox neighbors. It's been a pleasure getting to know you and to read your wonderful blogs. I look forward to continuing to read & comment on my Neighborhood page, and will do so as long as there are posts there to read. 

I'm excited for Books, the Universe, and Everything's new home, but I'm sad to leave Vox as well. I hope that my neighbors on Vox will continue to follow me at my new location.

Sorry to hear that you're leaving.

I have a wordpress blog, too, but I've never used it for anything but backup.  I cut & pasted all my Vox posts and backed them up over there.  Did you find an easier way to move yours?

Sorry to know that you are leaving Vox, Emily. Hope you have fun at your new internet home. I will keep following both your blogs :)

Nope, I couldn't find an easier way. Vox doesn't let you export at all. I had to move everything by hand.

It's smart that you're backing everything up there. I used to worry about losing everything if Vox ever shut down, since they don't support exporting.
