So, you want to enter the Vox Apologia?
Read the following instructions.
You’re in the right place. Look up, and to your right. You’ll see a section entitled “Apologetics”. Directly under that (and, this is where it will stay, as I am the host, and originator), will be a sub-section, with the heading “Vox Apologia”. Under that, you’ll find the current “Vox Apologia” entries, and the current host (the weekly editions will be hosted at different blogs, every week. This panel will let you know where, and when this will happen.). You’ll see the next date, host, and topic listed directly under “Current.”
Future listings will be directly under _that_. Directly under the “Coming Up” information, is a link that says “Submit your entry” – this is an email address, for the upcoming host. This is where you send the address for the blog entry you wish to enter. Click the link, and it should open your email client, with the subject already filled out. When you do, please include the following items:
Host name: (ex. RazorsKiss)
Host URL: (ex. https://razorskiss.net/wp)
Entry Title: (ex. My Vox Apologia Entry)
Entry URL: (ex. https://razorskiss.net/wp/voxapologiaentry.html) < -- Yes, I know it doesn't exist.
Synopsis (If desired): (ex. “This post is about such and such”)
So, you want to host the Vox Apologia?
Any dates that do not yet have hosts will have a link that says “Like to host?” That emails me. So, if you do – click it – and it will. Also with the subject filled out. The last link (at the time of this entry) says “Vox Apologia FAQ” – that is this post. So, you probably clicked it to get here.
When you are scheduled to host the next week, you need to email me, or the current host, at LEAST 24 hours before the preceding Vox Apologia is scheduled to go up. That way, you can have your information included in that edition, to point people to the right place.

Ok, now for the “About”.
I decided to start this a while back. Maybe, oh, two months ago. (I’m writing this on 1/20/05). I was still on Oblivion’s Gate, and trying to rack my brains to figure out how to do something like this on that software. I decided I couldn’t do it. I spent the next week hunting for blog software, and another week after that, building/tweaking my blog.
Then, Joe Carter, from Evangelical Outpost, started several projects, in succession. I also read “Blog”, around the same time. Between the two, they convinced me I needed to start _doing_ something – and doing it now. I started to do some legwork – I examined the “Carnivals” and “Symphonies”, and I found the model I liked. However, I’ll say this upfront: This is NOT your normal “symphony.”
