It paralles our own as an early Typepad subscriber. What's not so nice about SixApart/Typepad is that they hold your URLs ransom, especially if you didn't publish under your own domain. We've rescued a lot of weblogs this year and SixApart makes it really difficult to <a href="http://foliovision.com/2008/11/17/typepad-to-wordpress/#comment-22409" target="_blank">move from Typepad to Wordpress</a>. In fact they've made it even harder in the last few weeks. Holding people hostage is hardly a way to win friends and influence the world. Thanks for sharing your experience.

WordPress is somewhat temperamental, but good to know we're on the right path... Our evaluation of technologies was extensive - but still another opinion never hurts. Thanks again! Great info!
