TypePad is great but has not really seen much core development recently. There have been lots of small refinements but things like it’s media features (photo albums* & library) need a big overhaul. It’s a little frustrating that Six Apart’s, newer, free Vox platform is currently better at this than “Pay to host” TypePad!
TypePad is a hosted solution running on 6A’s Movable Type (MT) platform. It was recently updated so maybe more of the good stuff seen in it will turn up in TypePad. I’ve considered using MT but, being lazy, prefer a hosted solution even with it’s limitations. A few of my TypePad wishes from 2006 have appeared but would be good to see more work on the platform.

TypePad Trivia: When I first found TypePad, via Shaan Hurley, I wondered why the company name was “Six Apart”. The name comes from the gap between founders Ben & Mena’s birthdays!
* I’ve considered moving all my photos to Flickr, which can be integrated with TypePad, but then face the nightmare of recreating hundreds of titles & comments from the TypePad albums.
