Loving Typepad

I've had my blogs on TypePad for almost a year now, and I love them. 

There are lots of ways to post, but I keep finding that the best way is to just go into the user interface and doing it. 

Yes, I could and probably will install my own blogging software, but with this one, no nagging messages that I have to upgrade, and they do all the heaving lifting.

I've used Contribute to blog  with Typepad — and it works well, but I haven't figured out a way to automatically post on Twitter.  I could look it up, but why bother when the Typepad user interface works so well.

Plus I can post from the mobile phone, either using their software or through an email message.  And I can put up stuff from Snagit — like this screen shot, in a very easy way.

Some other cool things:  I can actually post from SnagIt.  I am sure I can do the same with Screencast / Camtasia — something I need to play with.

Something else I really like is the Microblog — when I want to say something longer than 160 characters, I just post there, especially if it really doesn't fit the subject of my blogs.

But it's definately worth paying someone to do the maintanence and have a good platform to blog.  If I just had the time — going to try to do better about carving out time.
