Anyone using Typepad?

Hi guys,

I'm using Typepad for a couple of blogs including www.hostingdiary.com
Does anyone else here have a Typepad blog?

So for bumping this thread!! But I had doubts on typepad too!! thats why I searched only found this!! Can someone clarify on typepad?? Is it similar to blogger??

How much does it cost?? Is it worth the money??

I dont see the point of paying for something when you can get something as good as Wordpress for free.

Typepad is owned by SixApart Media Corporation. TO make things easy consider this

Typepad == Wordpress.com
Movable Type == Wordpress.org
SixApart == Automattic

But only problem is that Typepad is not free but Wordpress.com is free. Moreover, Movable Type also went freeware only recently.

Typepead costs 4.95$/month at start and max price is $89.95/month with discounts if you buy yearly. Check costs here: http://www.typepad.com/pricing/

BTW world's one of the most read blog is on Typepead: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/ - A PR 7 Blog.

Thanks for the buzz about Seth. It's amazing that it has PR7 ranking. And the archive only started in February this year but it claims to have more than 2500 posts.

Another issue, you mean typepad is basically with wordpress or typepad is better?

You forgot to click more link beneath the archives in sidebar: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/archives.html

Check in above link. Blog is almost 7 years old. Older than Wordpress. Wordpress was not even existent 7 years ago.

Can't say whether Typepad is better than Wordpress or not because I have never used it.

And what do you mean by you mean typepad is basically with wordpress ?

Typepad is owned by SixApart Media whereas Wordpress is owned by Automattic.

oh, i sorry, i missed that. So you can really put a more function in the archives widget. Can you do something like that in wordpress?

Easiest way to achieve this in Wordpress is to use the following format:


<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&limit=12'); ?>
</ul>
<a href="http://yourdomain.com/archives/" class="rmore">Full Archive</a>

I use a plugin for my archives pages that displays all the posts monthwise.
