I'm taking suggestions on themes you guys'd like to use for our group.  I think they keep adding more and more that you can use on the groups from the ones you can use on a regular blog.  Currently, we've got the moonlight autumn in Kyoto which I mostly just picked because it's pretty.  There's the option of using Cityscape NYC, but I find that one, ironically, a little cartoon-ish for my taste.

Still!  It's not just my group, so - take a look through the themes and let me know if you see any that strike you as good ones for the group (you can preview them by going to Design in the Vox menu and then scrolling down to 3) Theme.  Make sure you select it to show All and take a look through the previews there.

If you see any that strike your fancy, mention 'em in a comment here and I'll see if they're available for the group.

Okay, looks like you can now post directly to a group without having to just cross-post from your own blog.  Maybe you could before and I just never noticed the little link.  Anyway, to add a new post just to the group, go to the group page and then in the upper right, there should be a 'post to group' button you can use.

Seems it basically just posts it on your blog but locked to only you and then cross-posts it openly to the group.  Little weird, but - we'll try it.

Of course, please feel free to cross-post XMR-related entries, photos, music, etc. as well!

So I decided to start one of these groups here on Vox for XMR.  I'm still figuring out how exactly the groups feature works here, but it seems like it's limited to cross-posting from your main journal.  Given that all we tend to post about in these blogs is XMR, I'm not sure how useful the group will be, but if we cross-post the more content-laden entries (ie. those that aren't just lyrics and I'm looking at me here), it could be a nice aggregator of all Vox-activity going on these days.

I've set the group to be public but invite-only, which means that anyone can view what's been posted, but you need an invite from an existing member to join and post to it.  Of course, if I've missed anyone who has a Vox blog here (whether IC or OOC), or if you decide to join us, just let me know and I'll make sure you can an invite ASAP.

Currently, we need a good icon for the group.  All the ones I have are of my characters mostly, so if anyone has a good generic X-Men one or wants to make one, just upload it and cross-post it to the group and then let me know it's there.

The group can be found here.
