Our Typepad, Wanna Be WordPress Blog
When we set up our first blog, we were inspired by the book Blog Wild by Andy Wibbels. It was short, sweet and to the point. And he really liked and recommended the platform Typepad. So as a result, that is what we used and what our marketing blog is still run on. Although it has its limitations, setup and posting are pretty damn intuitive. It’s done us well!
Now I have become a WordPress Nazi, similar to the Soup Nazi in Seinfield.
You should use WordPress! It’s a fantastic platform! No Typepad for you!
In fact, we are now doing all of our website development in the WordPress platform, which is working out great. It’s good to specialize. But sometimes I look over at our other blog and let out a sigh. I so much want to move it to WordPress, but heck, I know the work it will take. And the fact that we use images in all of our posts, well, that just seems overwhelming. Yes, I long to add widgets and plugins to the Typepad blog. Yes, I grunt heavily when I see another great widget and find it is “created for WordPress”.
As I write this post, I’m still considering making the switch. When I wake up at 3 am I mull over this idea. When I’m taking a shower, and my best ideas pop into my head, the “move our Typepad blog to WordPress” crops up now and then. So who knows? Maybe I’ll muster up the courage and go for it. If I do, I will share my trials and tribulations with you.
