So I’m very happy having moved from Typepad to a self-hosted blog at A Small Orange and WordPress 2.02 It has given me a much more stable platform, outstanding SPAM trapping and, surprisingly, my blog readership has increased about 10x over Typepad. I don’t know if that’s due to better distribution, a better looking blog or what but it’s pretty neat.
I also have to say that if I were to do it again I would start with WordPress.com and skip Typepad. Typepad is a very nice platform, but the things that have been done here at WordPress.com are quite amazing. The themes, the ease of use and ease of customizing themes, the strong infrastructure and the simpler and cleaner WordPress software. It’s pretty impressive really. You can actually get a highly personal blog here for no money.
