I have heard many positive reviews and suggestions on typepad. Is anyone in this forum use typepad (either free or paid) platform for blogging? If yes, what do yu suggest is better than blogger and wordpress, etc. I am planning to host a blog on typepad based on your suggestions.

Something better than Blogger and WordPress? Not sure. For a paid service I would suggest TypePad, or maybe Squarespace. For a free blogging platform I would go for WordPress at wordpress.com. Before ending up on Typepad last year I tried both WordPress and Blogger, but soon decided for TypePad. Today, after using WordPress more and comparing both platforms, I realize I should have chosen WordPress. Oh, btw, there is no "free" TypePad, it's paid only, starting at $5/mo. Squarespace starts at $7/mo.

I tried typepad once but found to be too much to ask for from a newbie like me. Hence i immediately switched to blogger which i feel is the best blog hosting tool to use for any newbie. it is simple to use while typepad is for advanced users.

Right now, I don't like the idea of paying for a blog space. Maybe if I ever start making a lot of money from my blog, I'll be willing to pay, but not now.

I had tried typepad in past after I switched from blogger. I found it a bit too simple as compared to its price, so, left it.

I am now using and relying on wordpress only. Its working better even after having security vulnerabilities as compared to typepad.
