My Vox Blog turns 1 year old today....
.....and no one bothered to get me any gifts. That's just rude people! Come on!
Nah, just kidding, I'm not mad.
So yeah, today is the day one year ago that I started using Vox and I can remember it quite clearly.
I was working at Call For Help at the time and it was during July 2006 Taping Week. I had just gotten back from lunch with Leo, Amber, Mike Laz, Sean, and Mike Hogue, and Leo was uploading a video he made during that lunch to Vox. As I was watching him do this, Leo was showing me all the cool features that Vox had at the time. Because it was in beta every feature that Vox had definitely didn't even look like it was in beta. It honestly looked like a finished product.
So as Leo was showing me this I was getting really excited about Vox and what it had to offer. Then Leo asked if I wanted an invite, and when you get asked by Leo for an invite to something, you definitely don't turn it down. So I said, "Yeah, sure!"
And within minutes I was blogging away and setting up my very first Vox Blog.
So that's the story, sorry that it is pretty short, but hey I can honestly say that I got started here on Vox because of Leo and his great generosity.
So I would like to thank him most of all, and also I would like to thank Six Apart for giving us this great service and I can't wait to see what the future holds!
Before I go, here is the very first post I made on Vox that day while on set at Call For Help.
So this is vox eh?

Thanks Leo

Yep, so I even started the Toodles way back then too. LOL
So without further ado, I raise a glass of really expensive wine(because on the Internet, I'm a billionaire you see) and I toast to my Vox blog for being one year old, and with the hope of more years to come.
As always I remain obediently yours....
Toodles!

What am I saying, it's never too late to raise a glass of champagne!
I remember having the same response you did, that the beta sure didn't look or act beta-y at all. Thanks, SixApart and all the gang at Vox for a great product!
