Comment Reply Notifications Are Here!
All of us on Team Vox are really excited about this, so we know you will be too.  Now when someone replies directly to one of your comments, we'll send you an email notification.  No more worries that you'll miss what someone wrote to you (or your chance to respond directly).  We look forward to how this change will help keep your conversations flowing and help you connect with like-minded Voxers.

Changes in Blog Navigation
Inconsistencies in navigating around Vox can be confusing, and up until now viewing things like photos or audio worked differently in groups than it does on your blog. So we've just made them more consistent by consolidating all the blog navigation links into one strip.  As a plus, the new blog navigation takes up less space and is located underneath your blog header, making your own design more prominent on the page.

This additional space in your design might inspire you to create a new custom theme.  If you'd like to upload a new custom theme or need to tweak your existing one, read the Help article Personalizing your blog's design.  And if you want to tweak your blog title or tag line, just click over to the Design area.

As always, we're open to feedback and constructive criticism and love hearing how we can keep iterating and making improvements -- hit the Feedback link at the bottom of the page to share your thoughts.

Speaking of Your Feedback…

We've been listening to what you've told us recently and here are a few ways we've incorporated your feedback in this release:

• Set your privacy level on the Recent Updates!:  You can choose who to share your activity with (anyone, no one, neighborhood, friends & family, friends or family) by going to Account > Privacy & Defaults. 
  
• Updates to the neighbors module:  We've removed the tagline from the Neighbors module on your blog's sidebar.  You'll be able to see everyone's taglines when you click through to view the neighbors page.
• Tags are back!:  We've returned tags to be viewable on your blog posts.  They'll display below each post or asset near the link to comments.  

Improvements To Explore
Have you ever searched on a tag like "food" and wanted to see posts, photos and videos about it all at the same time?  We just improved the Explore experience so that it shows you relevant photos, posts, audio, video and books for anything you search on.  Of course, if you want to see search results on just one type of asset (videos tagged "food" for instance) just click on "video" above the search box to filter the results.

New Release, New Themes!
Big news for Groups:  we've just made all blog themes available as group themes as well!  Pick a new theme in the Design area.

We've also added some brand new themes.

(L to R): Hanafuda July, Hanafuda August, Hanafuda September, Hanafuda October, Draft Blue, Draft Brown, Ragged Torch, Subway Black, Subway White. 

And to get you excited about the upcoming VH1Eyecandy conduit, they've released some of their own themes including Heels, Pink, Trio, Hearts, and Shorts.  Look for them under the "New" tab in Design.
