sunday afternoon with typepad — 12 Oct 2003

Okay. Here we are. This is my first post with typepad. I must admit that I am most impressed by the way Six Apart have wrapped up MT into a user-friendly application. I am still a fan of movabletype for its speed and extensiblity, but I must admit that typepad feels good. I would appreciate the option of using a custom domain name instead of the .blogs.com or .typepad.com that is currently offered. But I guess that might come.

18:16 update: I've just discovered the Domain Mapping option which enables you to point a domain name towards a typepad blog! Kudo Six Apart!

The layout and design templates are cool too. I guess there's a typepad look&feel that is going to spread itself. Actually, it's by visiting a weblog that I remembered I signed up for a typepad account early August, and never took the time to really explore it. I've been having fun with the moblogging option, uploading pics from my T610 - rather disappointed by their quality, but the fun remains.
