As of the publication date of this post Typepad had pagination for well over a year, I know, I was using it. Typepad has no problem wih spam at all since early this year. Typepad allows the user to set a Featured post which remains on the front page until re set and allows for specific categories only to show on the front page as you like. Typepad is good to go with RSS and Typepad has a fast growing number of easy to install widgets which include various Search engines. Typepad has very limited number of themes but is fully customizable and the photo albums are a fantastic feature that make off site image services redundant. Typepad is not free, but what in life that is worth while is? Wordpad is free, woo hoo, all you need to pay for now is your hosting fee so you can load the WP platform on it and use it. My guess is your going to pay at least 15 bucks a month for that. However, power to the WP fans et cetera because there is a blog platform out there for everyone, you just need to find the one that works for you and in the mean time, make fair and up to date assessments when comparing.

I do also agree that this applies to the full-version of WP when installed on to a hosting server. I use godaddy.com 's cheapest hosting which costs me $4 a month with own domain to add flexibility. But when I used Typepad, I had to buy the premium service to get what I wanted to add onto my blog and it cost ... $15 a month I think. So for my own use, I prefer WP over Typepad... PS I love your blog. Emily,

Wordpress may be more powerful & flexible but TypePad, and the other hosted services, mean more people can spend their time creating content without worrying about "systems". The trade off is limitations vs simplicity but its the difference between me bothering to have a Blog, or not having a Blog so TypePad wins. I use TypePad + BlogJet to create content and have added Google search, Feedburner and Sitemeter. Must agree with Dug, you are comparing things that are not comparable.

WordPress may be more powerful & flexible but TypePad, and the other hosted services, mean more people can spend their time creating content without worrying about “systems”.

I tried it recently and from the super-quick one-click installation to the way that templates are stored as applications (as opposed to folders full of stuff to migrate and hack) I was very impressed. I just wanted to grumble a little bit about your article as I don't think you're comparing like with like and are unfairly penalising Six Apart. If you fancy rewriting it as a comparison of Movabletype with Wordpress I'll shut-up, but comparing (non-hosted) Wordpress and Typepad just doesn't make sense. Most of the features you highlight as missing from Typepad *do* appear in Movabletype (extensive plugin resources, one-click style changes etc) and if you've taken the trouble to install and configure your own server to test WP, you should do the same for MT. All the best, Dug Hi Emily,

WordPress is definitely here to stay, and growind at a steady pace to become a full fledget professional platform. Also, it's open, and free, and has a very large community, what else do you need to get the plunge? :-) Or, at least, why don't you just 'mirror' your blog on a WP hosted blog for a while after exporting the TypePad contents and reimporting them into WP (as I did with my www.mobtech.it site?). Whatever you decide, keep going with the blog, it's great :-) Jack Ventura (AKA Bonaventura from Italy) I’ve been using both the tools for some months, although in a less ‘professional’ way, but agree on everything you wrote in your post, actually.

I'm going to show my ignorance by asking this question, I'm sure, but I'm thinking of starting a business using blogging software. I know your answer will depend on what features and functions I will need, but I'm not sure myself. That said, I started using TP because it was easy and simple and someone told me that it had less spam than Google's Blogger. But, TP is a limited service, as you know, when it comes to plugins, features and functionality for a business blog. So, I would like to stay with SixApart because I am famiiliar with their educational set up, but go with MT for more functionality. Even though it is about $70 vs. WP being free. I guess I have a comfort zone with SixApart, plus I think I can transfer my TypePad blog over to MT vs. WP easier. I'm curious, with your MT blog experience, do you agree that MT appears to have more plugin functionality than TP (but does it have as much OVERALL and pluging funcionality as WP?) = <a href="http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/plugins/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/plugins/</a> vs. <a href="http://wp-plugins.net/" rel="nofollow">http://wp-plugins.net/</a> ?

I basically had exactly teh same dilemma as you, after using a Typepad blog for a while and then realising I needed WordPress. I had initially rejected Wp as I felt it made too heavy programming demands on a layman like me... and then so rapidly frustrated at Typepad's many limitations that I decided to switch. Migration was not much of an issue. I "solved" or at least minimised the traffic issue by keeping my Typepad blog open (for a few months at any rate) with a basic rather than à Pro account (at a cost of about $5/month) with a post at the top indicating that the blog has moved and giving teh new address).

I've got a couple of MT blogs, and they take up much more of my time in terms of problems than my WordPress blogs. I'll be moving them all to WP. One thing you should check out is WP's ability to use custom URLs. Maybe you could mimic your existing URLS? The other thing is that you could replace your typebad blog with redirects to your pages at your new server.. No matter what, though, moving the site will be a pain for you and your readers in the short run. In the long run, though, you gain complete control, and you stop investing in a domain you don't control. Nice post – I think that now is the time to start testing out WordPress.
