Goodbye Typepad…Hello Wordpress (Beta)
UPDATE: RSS Feeds are currently being fixed and are expected to be fully working by 12am CST tonight. Sorry for the inconvenience.
UPDATE: Most links to this site are now correctly routed. There may still be a few posts that don’t forward correctly so please just search for them on the new blog.
Asking Typepad support for help is like trying to see the Major in Catch-22; you are lead around in big circle but the question is never answered. The Major is never quite in.
The latest: A series of error messages that asked that I report what I was doing when the error occurred. I deligently informed them what I had been doing via the little box provided and just as diligently I would get a response from Typepad support asking what I was doing when the error occurred. At first, what I was doing was not important. On Friday, what I was doing was trying to publish a post. So after filling out the little “tell us what you were doing” form several times, I opened up a help ticket that said “I cannot publish a post.” Thus the all too familiar circle game began.
What were you doing? What was I doing when I couldn’t publish a post? Clicking on publish….
Eventually, I got a semblance of an answer. Something to do with Technorati code. Technorati and my blog are another one of life’s unsolved mysteries. Despite many email responses from Technorati’s Janice Myint I still don’t get their link count and try to ignore it. I have been talking about a move to Word Press for over a year….this seemed like an idea whose time had come.
I have never understood why Typepad provides such poor tech support; but then again, why does anyone?
Stowe Boyd recently blogged Typepad Headache 506 and Typepad Headache 507. I am glad someone is keeping count.
So, thanks to Chris I have made the move and so far so good. For awhile though, this blog design will be a work in process; a beta, perhaps, like the rest of life.
