I posted this comment on the Everything Typepad version of this post, but figured it might reach different eyes here.

I have been paying to use Typepad since 2004 and currently host three personal blogs on your service (one active, two not). I'm not blogging to become the next media celebrity so the words of your new president in the Adweek article about the acquisition don't inspire a lot of confidence.

"Its main focus is in those that hope to build media businesses, rather than regular people who write a blog for fun." - http://www.adweek.com/aw/content_display/news/digital/e3i430e0ec60c443f09e97f63d5de5af1f2

I've appreciated typepad's customer service. I also chose this platform because I liked the continuous enhancements to the platform. What assurances can you give that people like me "who write a blog for fun" will continue to have a good experience on Typepad? Will this platform still be for us or should I start porting things over to a different service?

Thanks for listening.

Amy - Troy responded directly on the above link, and as well on Everything TypePad: http://everything.typepad.com/blog/2010/09/six-apart-and-videoegg-create-say-media-a-modern-media-company.html#comment-6a00d83451c82369e2013487979696970c

But the important point was simply, of course we care about bloggers of all sizes, and we will continue to do so. TypePad isn't going anywhere but up :)

Hi Matt! How do you spell Relief? T Y P E P A D. That was the first thing that came to my mind when I read your post. Thank you for emphasizing that TypePad is not going anywhere. It truly is not only the best blogging platform available, but because of the ease of use of the Advanced Templates, I was able to learn Web Design and now help to design TypePad blogs and answer questions of TypePad bloggers on Get Satisfaction & Six Apart. I hope you will not eliminate the "Six Apart" profile on Get Satisfaction, as this would wipe out a lot of helpful information. Will you be renaming the section and leaving the content? I hope so.

Secondly, the only gripe (if you can really call it that) that I have had with the Compose Dashboard for TypePad is the inability for "Drag & Drop" technology of images in addition to a more intuitive solution for embedding videos that originate on the user's home computer. There must be a way to make it easier.

Other than that, I feel very bonded with the TypePad platform and the team at Six Apart. I've come to know a number of the helpful staff at 6A and believe them to be the most helpful people out there. They truly care about the end user and the TypePad experience and want nothing more than to improve the platform and create the best blogs out there.

I am proud to be a part of what I believe is the TypePad Team of Bloggers. I was also very interested in monetizing one of my sites, and thanks to BlogHer, was able to do that - you guys turned me down - stinkers. I had also been using the Six Apart Ad program via Adify for a while, but stopped when I went on board with BlogHer. I am hoping that this merger of 2 great companies will result in greater publisher opportunities and choices for TypePad bloggers who want to monetize their site, and that you will make every effort to promote these bloggers as well.

Thank you for easing our concerns about TypePad. I know I certainly thought that the beginning of SAY meant the ultimate end to TypePad. I hope you will continue to "listen" to your customers and care about their feedback and experience as Six Apart has done from the beginning.

Funny that, after almost a decade using Blogger, I chose this year to switch to Movable Type. I don't regret the decision, but now I care more about this change than I would have earlier. I hope it works out.

Well the interesting about TYPEPAD is that they do give you a chance to speak your idea and keep it in front of everyone.

Your blog detail is really what I wanted, I enjoy your web site, I truly hope your blog page should be a swift rise in shoppers, I will assist you to enhance your weblog as well as seek forward for your weblog continually updated and come to be additional towards much more wealthy as well as vibrant.

I am starting a new blog. I wanted to add new gadgets to my blogs from another site. After copying the code and transfer to my blog template, the gadget becomes shorter or right side cut off.

The points which you have mentioned on your blog makes me think that how much in depth study you have done or has experience in blogging.

Blogs can be a incredibly marketable and quite worthwhile instrument if utilized correctly. Profiting from blogs is only a matter of grabbing the interest of an audience and not carrying out any real salesmen selling.

In case you would like to be the most effective wherever you research or function, then it's essential to be a helpful author. It doesn't necessarily mean tricksy or disingenuous, but clear-cut and persuasive. For our aims, writing is actually a substance to an stop. The stop may be the apparent aspect of an essential theme or viewpoint. So very good you are, and wish the tommorrow of us is going to be better than ahead of.

What is the key ingredient of tough people who allows them to be successful?Why do they endure the difficult occasions when other people are conquer by them? Why do they win when other individuals lose? Why do they soar when other folks sink?

I want to reach out to TypePad bloggers directly, echo Ben and Mena's message yesterday, and clarify some of the things you may have read in the press.

You might not be able to control the occasions, but you'll be able to compose your response. It is possible to turn your pain into profanity -or into poetry. The option is as much as you. You may well not have selected your hard time, but it is possible to pick how you will react to it.

Wonderful and excited posts,hope to be better and greater.You could creat more post there to us.come on!

The very thought of starting an article marketing and advertising campaign might seem like a daunting process, yet if you take it 1 step at the same time, this becomes far more workable.

The great thing about typepad is the experience of blogging in a growing audience. With its built-in Twitter and Facebook plugin. It's really easy for us new bloggers to understand its interface.

Typepad is really great. It gives good chance to share our ideas and experience. Thanks for sharing this post.
