This comparison was great. But for me, Wordpress is far more superior in all angles compared to TypePad. :D

Ok this is probably a dum question, but are we talking about wordpress.com or wordpress.org here?

I’ve been trying to decide where to set up my blog and had already decided on TypePad when I happened upon problogger and a few other bloggin blogs and noticed that everyone seemed to think wordpress is the way to go…

Discount Shopping wonders: “Just wondering if it is possible to get custom domain names from Typepad ”

No and Yes.

TypePad does not sell/host/etc. custom domain names, but you can acquire them elsewhere (TypePad offers several TypePad friendly hosts, such as PairNIC), and then you can use Domain Mapping to map the domain name to your TypePad blog.

It is very easy to do, though I, actually, have yet to do it myself for silly reasons. :O)

OK. Client relations 101 for you PR folk out there. At what level of education do you need to offer your client if they are the “blogger”? Can you (figuratively speaking) as a tech-savvy person handle all of the “behind the scenes” and simply let the content come from elsewhere?

Just wondering how this works.

[...] So I am on the prowl to compare the paid blogging service of TypePad and WordPress2.0. Why? I have a hunch that many people see the paid option for TypePad and assume it must be better… Also, I have read problogger’s writeup stating that “WordPress on the other hand is a system designed for bloggers who need more grunt behind their blog…if you want a more managed ‘plug and play’ type system you might find it a bit too heavy on features.” And this was written before WordPress 2.0 was launched.

I am using WP now, after using most programs. I have never used Typepad though. I will be running about 5 blogs, so far it seems pretty good.

I’m looking into some blogging software that would allow my visitors to post comments including images referenced from the web.

Thanks.

Thanks Rich – have been testing wp.com for a while now – its an interesting product isn’t it!

Darren:

WordPress is testing a hosted ASP version which does not require an install. I think that version can be more readily compared to TypePad. I am a TypePad user, but I am also participating in the WP hosted beta. If you would like your own beta account, I can send you an invitation.

Wordpress is a pain to set up – it takes a lot of tweaking to get those plugins all working together. But it’s also for more extensible than any other tool. Overall, better than TypePad, but you’ll need a few hours to tweak it to your liking.

I just switched to WordPress from Blogger less than a week ago and I am very happy that I did. The install was incredibly easy, and transferring my posts from Blogger to WordPress was only marginally more difficult. I don’t know how I ever survived without categories :)

John: I am doing that on http://www.blogspk.com :)

I have tried number of blog tools ranging from textile to drupal and mambo but eventually WP got a thumbsup for ease of use, flexibility and number of available plugins. I have tried at least 4 projects in past couple of months and it was a breeze setting up things.

If you’re a Java person, you might also consider bljosom, see http://wiki.blojsom.com/wiki/display/blojsom/About+blojsom for more information. Open source, so the price is right, and you get to tweak it to your heart’s content if you have the need for total control… Not for everyone, by any means.

WordPress is the best – both for newbies and advanced hackers. I particulary am amazed how easily one can install/activate/deactivate plugins. Without captcha plugin for Wordpress I couldn’t live even one day.

John: That’s very interesting.

I’ve got 8 wordpress blogs going on now and I do the 5-minute installation everytime. What I do is one one of them – I have everything – all the plugins, themes, etc I just FTP each into the appropriate folder when I create a new one. Unfortunately, not all is plug-n-play and the odd time you have to make minor modification to header, to wp-admin folder, etc etc .. I just leave everything unactivitated and do the necessary modifications when I finally activate each plugin.

One thing that certainly saved me a bunch of time ..for my Image Browser upload plugin, I set the folder where my photo galleries stores the raw images (instead of wp-content) for all blogs so when I do upload a picture, it’s available in as an Insert Image in every blog.
