If you are the text only blogger than nothing to worry about, provided you have your own custom domain name. Not me, well I use lot of audio (podcasts), photos and logos. I had approximately 300 media rich posts on my Typepad blog. Exporting the content of the blog from the Typepad in a human readable text file was the only easy part and takes less than a minute. Now I imported this text file in Wordpress by going to Manage - Import - Movable Type and TypePad, and volla, in less than 5 minutes, I had all my posts including comments and trackbacks show up in Wordpress.

hi, Good thing nobody got hurt. Doesn’t always turn out that way with DUI. - Yet another reason not to use a TypePad hosted blog: censorship. In the past I’ve had problems with TypePad not allowing me to comment on my own TypePad blog (the issue was ultimately resolved). - iScoot allows calling your online Skype contacts from your cell phone. - And should one ever need to fake a phone call, just check out popularity dialer

I can’t leave comments on anybody’s TypePad blog. I used to, but no more.

[…] Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time I’ve had this problem. Enter Six Apart. When signed up and tested, I couldn’t leave comments on my own brand new TypePad blog (tdavid.typepad.com). This was around Christmas time two years ago and it took a week or so to find out that the reason my comments were being blocked was because makeyougohmm.com was listed on an old spam service. […]

[…] It was almost exactly a year ago that I had to sign up for TypePad to find out why I couldn’t leave comments on any TypePad blogs, which a few days later was resolved. Thankfully this problem hasn’t recurred. […]

[…] Some might remember my TypePad can’t leave comments on my own TypePad blog adventure which was resolved over Christmas time last year. I didn’t keep that TypePad blog running very long, mostly because I didn’t like the way 6A imposed it’s third party anti-spam tools on its paying subscribers, namely rel=nofollow. If I want nofollow disabled on my TypePad blog then that should be an option for me. I am paying them, I should have the choice for how my blog is configured including how to deal with what I feel is spam or not spam on my blog. […]
