Mister Smarty… my other blog
Well… not really. I’m testing out Six Apart’s new hosted blogging service called TypePad — which is in its second beta test round. So far, so good. TypePad is actually very cool. I’m impressed at how nice the user interface is. And underneath, it’s looks like it’s a highly tricked-out version of MT. Support for photo albums, Amazon lists, and other cool features come right out of the box. The biggest improvement over MT I’ve seen, however, is the new template designer. Non HTML/CSS knowledgeable users will be able to customize their blogs with ease.
So, for now, this is still my blog home. But you never know, Mena, Ben, and Anil are cooking up some good mojo. I have no doubt that this will be better than what Pyra/Google is coming up with… AOL’s no match either.

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you like TypePad, and hopefully soon it’ll be open for everybody to try.
