Switching From TypePad to WordPress

My new blog is located at http://oregonmortgageplanning.com (formerly at http://johnleach.typepad.com/johnleach) as I am switching from TypePad to WordPress.

I have nothing against TypePad and actually think they are great, and very easy to use for someone looking at getting into blogging.

What it came down to for me was that I needed to switch my hosting services and since my new service included WordPress I was able to eliminate the annual cost I was paying for TypePad.

I chose a Mac theme (I love Macs) for my new blog, and though I'm not quite finished transferring and configuring, I think it's looking good.

If you get a chance, I'd love to hear some feedback from others on what you think?

Thanks,

John Leach

You are doing a super job! Good post as you keep up with all the advancements out there and to be heard!

I have Wordpress also and enjoy the free use of this site and they are strong in search engines.

Hi John, aside from all the add on & goodies available for wordpress... from a purely asthetic point of view, your new blog looks 100% more pleasing(IMHO) to the eye. Excellent job!

John, this is wonderful!!! Cannot believe you did this with WordPress........I have lots to learn.

Andrew - Thanks! It was actually a lot of fun changin over and I'm glad I did it.

Gary - Free is good - especially if it is a good product.

My wordpress is incredibly slow.

Tried on another server with same results....

Is it just me?

Hi Jason,

I'm still really enjoying WordPress, though I believe it does take a little more "technical" knowledge than TypePad.

For me, WordPress is the way to go.
