I’ll be kicking around TypePad for a month or so. You can find me at walt.blogs.com. I don’t think I’ll roll the posts there into iWalt.com or anything, I’m mainly keen on studying the interface of the tool and seeing what they’ve cooked up. So far I’m really impressed. No particular surprise there.
If you’ve been looking for a simple yet powerful system to get started blogging with, TypePad is the way to go. I think the rates are very reasonable, particularly the $5/mo. plan. Considering what you get, it’s a huge bargain.
