My TypePad account has finally been upgraded to the new platform and I'm excited. I think I'm among the last of the millions who use TypePad. I was told it's because I have multiple blogs on my account (10) and multiple authors on several of the blogs. The migration is tricky and they didn't want to screw up my blog.
The system gets better and better. But, there's a downside...I realized I have to update the tutorials in the Build a Better Blog System AGAIN. The entire design module has been redesigned for the better. It's so much easier now to customize your TypePad blog.
If you own a copy of Build a Better Blog ebook, stay tuned for new tutorials coming soon...
Thank you TypePad. You're doing an awesome job on creating a powerful blog platform for professionals.




Hey Denise,
Love the new look, the new platform, and love using Zemanta to pull pictures etc, tagging together - but since starting with it the fun has significantly diminished regular blogging due to the dramatically long keystroke time, with time for a cup of coffee just revising one sentence.
Many improvements in look, but the keystroke constipation is very significant for me with no apparent fix. Please keep us posted if you find the same,
I closed all my open URLs, and could be Zemanta?
Thanks,
Chuck

we're so glad you're happy, Denise! Thanks for all the shout-outs. Let me know if there's any questions you might have!

I haven't experienced what you're describing, Chuck. Could be Zemanta since it is working constantly in the background to provide relevant images and links for your to use. That definitely could slow things down.

Thanks, gotcha,
Will shut down Zamanta and give that a run,
