Many argue that you get what you pay for, well in that case TypePad is far too cheap! Described as the premier blogging service for professionals, it is as good as anything else on the market. The large number of site designs are crisp, clear and easy to navigate in an instance. If you are looking for a blogging system, check this out.
The site itself is straight to the point, with headings such as Why Blog, Why Typepad, Features and Pricing - and while the site has a Support area, perhaps an online forum would be useful for the future?
Creating your personal site design is easy with an inbuilt customisation package online, and some excellent templates to work off. Adding content could not be easier with a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor which allows you to add pictures, links, etc. It is also possible to add your post remotely, using email or a smartphone.
You are also able to add some advanced features into your posts including Skype, ProStores, Technorati, Pandora and more - very useful to offer your blog readers that something a little different and stand out form the crowd. The system also has your general security functions like banning keywords, banning users, etc - everything you need to maintain the standard of your content.
Originally released in October 2003, TypePad (owned by Six Apart Ltd) is considered the largest paid blogging service available on the internet today. It takes something special to compete with the likes of Blogger, etc, as well as charging for a service which many offer for free - a reflection of the high regarding in which the blogging community hold TypePad.
