I am starting to loathe Typepad

I have given Sixapart a chance.  I understand it isn't easy to scale up a complicated service for millions of users, but the slowness of the application, and the near daily disabling of statistics is getting to be too much.

I mean, I do pay for this service; I think it only right that I expect a certain level of service.  Sadly, I am not getting that level of service from Typepad any more, and I think I am going to start transitioning to a different platform if I don't see dramatic improvements soon.

Oh, and how about some new features while you're at it (like RSS feeds for categories)?  I can't remember the last notable feature that Typepad introduced.

This is a test

I'm posting this from my phone using PocketSharp MT.

Nothing to see here.

HowTo: Export your posts from Typepad

Given the recent wackiness with Typepad, I thought it would be a good idea to export all my posts as a backup. I went through all the steps and I thought to myself, 'This isn't hard to do but if you don't even know this exists you're pretty much screwed.'

I have created this short video tutorial on how to export your posts from Typepad to help others do it for themselves. Right click on the link to save it to your desktop (the video is in Quicktime and clocks in around 10 megs for about 4 minutes of video).

Let me know if you found it useful and perhaps I'll do some more of these screencasts.
