TypePad

Have I said how much I like Typepad.  I LOVE Typepad.

I've been blogging for a long time.  Since February 2003.  That's like 100 years in blog years. 

I started out with Movable Type, that I set up on my own site.  Pages of instructions, pain in the butt.  When they moved to a pay model, I tried WordPress for a few weeks, HATED it, went back to Movable Type.

However, I got sick of having to reinstall updates every few months, and would get major writer's block, every time my control page said i needed to update, and I needed lots of quiet time to do it in.  That's hard to get when you're a teacher and have two dogs at home.

It finally took last year, but I jumped to Typepad.  It's been SO easy since then, I tweak things from to time, they add features, and all is good.  The good thing — I only have to blog and don't have to worry about the hosting.

Love it.
