TypePad

If you want a quick and easy way to blog, or to post photos on the internet, I really recommend TypePad.

I've known the owners for a long time, before they were even a company.  They wrote Movable Type which is one of the oldest blogging software.  I was on Movable Type for a long time but hated having to update it periodically for security and other upgrades.  In fact, that caused writer's block everytime I had to do it.

There are lots of ways to make blog entries.  Right now, I'm using the web interface, I log in, I type, and not only does my blog post get posted, but twitter gets notified.  Since I have twitter and Face book linked, Facebook gets notified too.

You can also blog directly from Facebook.  You can blog from your mobile device using a mobile client or app (I have downloaded the Windows Mobile app and blog from my phone frequently.  You can also send an email and that will post your blog.

You can have things set up so you get an email when there is a comment on your blog, then can reply to the comment email to make your reply.  That's very fast and simple.

They also have real people who answer the tech support tickets to help you — right now, you might see that I have a link to Typepad on the upper left hand corner which image is broken and I'm waiting an response to see how to fix that.  I asked the orginal question last night, got the answer a few minutes ago (I think 8:30 their time), and I'm sure I'll get the rest of the answer in a few minutes.

By the way, I do get paid for each referral, and their referral pay is pretty high.
