Over the last few years I have become a huge fan of TypePad for blogging. I use TypePad to host multiple sites including my personal blog as well as a site for my family. Our family site is an online journal and photo album that enables us to stay connected with friends and family. Gone are the days of writing those year end holiday letters to inform everybody of those special events over the last year.
TypePad offers many cool features but most of all it's easy to use and it delivers a professional looking style for your web presence. I also enjoy the ability to use the best of the web to integrate my TypePad sites with services including Windows Live, Google Analytics, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter and Flickr to name a few. TypePad is more than a blogging service as it also enables you to create a rich web site using drag and drop tools and many customization options.
Although TypePad is not free such as Blogger and Wordpress, I think you will find the value far exceeds the nominal cost. Give it a try at typepad.com.
Thanks, James, for the kind words about TypePad. We love the feedback. We have a lot more cool stuff coming out in the next few weeks to make blogging even easier.
Please let us know if we can help you with anything.
Best,
Mark and the TypePad One team, http://www.typepad.com/one

Mark, my account was just enabled to access the new version of Typepad so I am starting to give it a test drive this weekend. My family and I use TypePad for our personal blogs and a family website and I just think its a great platform. Friends and family think our family blog site is very professional looking and often state it must have taken a long time to develop and I say no it's just that TypePad is very easy and powerful. I will be sure to let you know my thoughts as I continue my discovery of the new version.
Regards,
James
