Blogging with TypePad

Education & Training with AgentWhiz!

Ready to blog? There are many different blogging platforms to choose from, and we'll attempt to review them all. But, let's start with my favorite, and the one I currently use...Typepad.

Here's what Typepad has to say:

TypePad blogs are one step ahead. Not all blog platforms are created equal. TypePad is better. Here's why:

  1. We make blogging simple. TypePad's intuitive interface allows you to add content, pictures and links quickly and easily. Whether you know a little bit about technology or a lot, you can go from blank screen to live blog in minutes.

  2. You maintain complete control over your blog. TypePad offers the ultimate in blog management tools, allowing you to customize your design, moderate comments, decide whether or not to display ads, and much more. We think that's the way it should be; after all, it is your blog.

  3. We make it easy for people to find your blog. All TypePad blogs are search-engine optimized. In addition, we provide valuable services such as Google Site Maps, search-engine friendly URLs, and the exclusive Six Apart Atom stream used by Google and other search engines that make your content easier to find.

  4. You (not advertisers) are our customer. Since TypePad is a paid service, advertising spam will never appear on your blog. You may decide to display advertising, but that's up to you; you're in control. We spend our time, effort, and energy to stay on the edge of innovation, and you are the beneficiary.

  5. Your TypePad blog looks good. Really good. We've commissioned talented graphic designers to create design templates that make your blog look sharp, professional, and creative. You can customize the templates an infinite number of ways; or, if you're so inclined, you can code your own.

All of the content you upload to TypePad is hosted in a tier-one data center, giving you world-class reliability, uptime and system performance.

I agree, but find that each platform offers different criteria. The main thing is how easily your posts can be found by readers. Blogger is owned by Google, thus your chances of being found in their search engine is higher. TypePad is really user friendly, SquareSpace is a little more high-tech, WordPress is the most popular. I'll be reviewing them all! I have given up sleep for blogging! Don't forget to check out www.agentwhiz.com! Thanks, Jimmy!
