We're happy to bring you the latest features, fresh out of development. Onto the highlights:

Share This Made Better

We've expanded the "Share This" feature to allow you to share all asset types, including photos, video, audio and books.  You'll see the option to "Share This" on the confirmation page after you upload the item as well as on the asset itself.

You can also now share non-public assets with your friends and family who aren't on Vox yet.  We'll send them a notification email which will prompt them to first register for Vox and once they're signed up they'll be able to see your non-public content.

A Fresh Coat of Paint

We've been working on the all-important first impression Vox makes to the world, so today we launched a new logged-out home page.  The goal is still to bring in brand new users to Vox, and we're hoping to do that by giving a glimpse of some of the great things that are going on inside the community.

The new logged out home page shows Team Vox news, some featured Vox users, and a search box to discover content.  This [this is good] box also shows up on the redesigned page, so the Voxers' posts and photos that are featured will be seen by a lot more people!

Re-Blog This

The "Re-blog" feature is now just called "Blog This".  The "Blog This" link adds the asset to your library and creates a new post with the asset already inserted.

If you just want to add the item to your library without creating a post, you can use the new "Add to your Vox library" link.

When you're looking at assets in your blog or someone else's, you'll also notice we moved a few links around, including the link to favorite it and comment.

New Themes!
Introducing new themes from Lauren Musni, Tiffany Chow, Akiko Kurono, Michael Sylvian, Lynn T., Metro UK and Yasmina Haryono.

And there are more themes available for groups!

New Control Strip Beta Testing
We're beta testing a new control strip that we think will make Vox even easier to use and navigate around. This will be rolled out in a future release, but if you'd like to opt-in to participate and test now, read the full instructions here.

Coming soon
Team Vox is hard at work on a ton of new features.  In the coming weeks, look for group custom themes, improvements in the About Me section, more Neighbors page enhancements (which we mentioned are on their way), full-text search and more.

Hope you like what you see!
