DAILY HEIGHTS hooks you up: Typepad is an easy to use, feature-packed hosted blogging service. Setting up a Typepad account takes about 5 minutes. You can get a 30-day free trial at the Typepad site, but 30 days turns out to be remarkably short in blog time.
Solution: The people at Six Apart set up a special 90-day free trial account code for 10 people who read this site. Contact DH for the code.
Ninety days is just about the perfect amount of time to determine whether you want to (1) stay with Typepad, which will cost you $4.95 or more a month, or (2) like we did, get your own server space and install Movable Type, the powerful (though far from perfect! argh!) engine behind Typepad. Movable Type costs up to $99, depending on the type of license, or FREE if you are willing to forge ahead without the help of Six Apart’s surprisingly knowledgeable and helpful technical support people.
