First, we're happy to announce that the team has identified and fixed the issue with the YouTube conduit; you can now find and add videos from YouTube to your library and posts. As always, thanks for your patience!

The other news we have today is about a new addition to the Six Apart family: TypePad Micro, a new free level of TypePad that is streamlined for microblogging. We see a new form of blogging emerging that lives between the quick status updates of Twitter and Facebook and the long-form posts of "classic" blogging; TypePad Micro is designed to meet that need. You can read more about TypePad Micro in Chris Alden's post on the Everything TypePad blog.

TypePad Micro

A lot of the new capabilities we've added to TypePad this year were actually inspired by some of the best things about Vox: favoriting, member profiles, a dashboard to follow other bloggers, and easy ways to post content from other social media sites. But the things that make Vox different from TypePad are still there: Vox has always been -- and still is -- the best place for "friends and family" blogging, where you're in control over who sees what. TypePad, on the other hand, is built for the blogger who wants, no, craves, attention.

Do you have a passion or interest you want to share with people beyond your Vox neighborhood? If so, we'd love it if you tried out TypePad Micro. Maybe you've always wanted to start that obsessive blog that's just about waffle restaurants. Or want a place to share videos of your favorite band (Jonas Brothers, anyone? Anyone? ...). TypePad Micro's great for those topic-specific blogs. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.

On the Vox front, our designers are working on some cool new themes (coming soon!). We'd also love to hear your thoughts about where we should take Vox in the coming year. What are the key things you'd like to see for Vox? If you've had a chance to use TypePad this year, what are the features there that we should bring over to Vox? And, if you're thinking big thoughts, how could we connect the Vox and TypePad communities in order to bring together bloggers and their shared passions? Your feedback is really important to us, so please leave a comment here, or shoot me a message.

And again, thanks for your patience as we found and fixed the YouTube bug!

As many of you have noticed, the YouTube Conduit is not working. I am so sorry about this; I know how frustrating it is.

The team is looking into how to get this fixed and I will update you as soon as I hear something. In the meantime, not all is lost... There is a work-around for posting videos.

When you're in the Compose Screen, just click on "embed." Ignore the fact that it says "Widget" before everything because you can definitely use this to embed videos as well. You'll just need to input the embed code from the video, enter a title (if you want) and hit OK.

It might not show up perfectly in your compose screen, but when you hit "Save," your video should appear just the way you wanted it to.

Hopefully this will allow you to keep posting videos while we figure out what's happening on our end.

As always, thanks for your patience.

Go forth and fill your libraries with media.

Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.

I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.

I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.

Cheers,

POEMA ESCRITO POR ELE(o noivo):

Que feliz sou eu,meu amor!
Já,já estaremos casados,
o café da manhã na cama,
um bom suco e pão torrado

Com ovos bem mexidinhos
tudo pronto bem cedinho
depois irei pro trabalho
e voce para o mercado

Daí vc. corre prá casa
rápidinho,arruma tudo
e corre pro seu trabalho
para começar seu turno

Voce sabe que de noite
gosto de jantar bem cedo
de ver voce bem bonita
alegre e sorridente

Pela noite mini-séries
cineminha bem barato
nunca iremos ao shopping
nem a restaurantes caros

Voce vai cozinhar pra mim
comidinhas bem caseiras
pois não sou dessas pessoas
que gosta de comer fora...

Voce não acha querida
que esses serão dias gloriosos?
Não se esqueça meu amor
que logo seremos esposos!

POEMA ESCRITO POR ELA
Que sincero meu amor!
Que oportuna tuas palavras!
Esperas tanto de mim
que me sinto intimidada

Não sei fazer ovo mexido
como sua mãe adorada,
meu pão torrado se queima
de cozinha não sei nada!

Gosto muito de dormir,
até tarde, relaxada
ir ao shopping fazer compras
com a Mastercard dourada

Sair com minhas amigas,
comprar só roupa de marca
sapatos só exclusivos
e as langeries mais caras

Pense bem,que ainda há tempo
a igreja não está paga
eu devolvo meu vestido
e voce seu terno de gala

E domingo bem cedinho
prá começar a semana,
ponha aviso num jornal
com letras bem destacadas

HOMEM JOVEM E BONITO
PROCURA ESCRAVA BEM LERDA
POR QUE SUA EX-FUTURA ESPOSA
MANDOU ELE IR PRÁ MERDA!!!!!!

Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.

We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you for being so patient.

Venha vós ao nosso reino e seja feita a minha vontade...

Nada como a realidade para acabar com o amor!
