It's Week 12 of the NFL season. How's your team faring?
Right now the Dallas Cowboys are sitting pretty at the moment atop of the NFC East and it appears as though we will make it to the playoffs. However now comes the dreaded month of December where for the past decade the Cowboys have complete collapsed at the end. And with New York, San Diego, Philly, and Washington upcoming.. it's not gonna be easy staying at the top of the Division.
..it snowed, which doesn't happen that often here. And it was the perfect type of snow.. nice and soft. Didn't stick or freeze up the roads..
Pass it on..
This tag line should have been on the poster: "Iron Man is back.. and this time it's War!"

So I served a little while but I wanted to get some photo time in with bands, since I'm at the club a lot. I love the lighting at The Brewery it's so pretty when I look at it, and these are attempts at catching it. The band Of Colour played and they are a good band! CHECK THEM OUT! The keyboardist was filling in for tonight and she normally performs with New Artica. Also check them out! But yeah that was my night. Enjoy the photos!
We watched a show about buying local food and it inspired us to get off our butt and go to Farmers Market. Hardly anyone was open but we got some nice shots of the produce. We were in the all local grown section. :)
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.
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.
