Trying out TypePad…

Based on the number of “weblog” tools I’ve tried and occasionally used you’d think I would actually write more. I like to write. But the grass is greener – better tool mentality prevents me from staying with it.

I have a Radio Userland blog known as Guy Bjerke’s Radio Weblog. I have found the news aggregator in Radio very handy. It’s a great tool, but its development seems stalled. (I know – new team at Userland – big things in 2004.)

I have also played around with Fogcreek’s City Desk. It is a great “content management” tool for all kinds of websites. It’s also very reasonably priced. My experiment, which also includes trying to learn a little .asp scripting can be found at www.gbjerke.com.

Trying out TypePad…no spell checker…the entry box is not wysiwyg, so you can’t be afraid of a little html showing up in your text if you insert a link or bold something. Or should that be strong something?

Oh. Why am I trying out TypePad? Well, several weblogs that I read have migrated from Radio Userland to TypePad. Others, like Seth Godin of Permission Marketing fame also use it. I’m just an early adopter. It’s the sticking with it that’s tough.
