Vox Tip: Upload Media with Windows XP Uploader

We've spotlighted our Windows XP uploader in the past, but we thought that the recent change of seasons was a nice opportunity to mention it again. For those of us in the Northern hemisphere, Spring is a great time to be outdoors and take photos, and in the Southern hemisphere Autumn has its own charms to document as the weather cools down. When you have lots of photos or other media items that you want to upload to Vox from your computer, using the Windows XP uploader can save you time so you can get back to living that life you're sharing on Vox.

Our knowledge base contains a guide to walk you through the process - Using the Windows XP upload tool - and we encourage any of you using Windows XP to download the installation file. Once you've added the necessary information to your registry, you'll be able to upload and tag items directly from your Windows XP file folders. It's especially handy for those of you who want to upload several media items and include them in a collection because the upload tool allows you to create and add to a collection as part of the upload.

Maybe you've just come back from a hiking trip, and you have some videos of the birds and other wildlife you saw as well as photos of the trail and the foliage. You might even have some of the songs you listened to during your hike or during your drive to the mountain. You can select all those media items directly from your computer in order to share them on your Vox blog, and you can also tag them and either create a new collection or add them to an existing collection in the same step.

For those of you who don't use Windows XP, you can still use our other easy uploading options, and we're always working to enhance the ways you can add items to your Vox blog. If you have suggestions and comments you'd like to share with us, then we'd love for you to contact us through our Feedback form.
