The geniuses at Six Apart who invented MovableType are starting to show off more of the features of their upcoming TypePad service, and it’s looking really cool so far. The problem with having an MT weblog is that you have to run and configure it all off of your own server. LiveJournal is currently the big centralized service, but TypePad seems like it’s going to have a lot to offer. Namely, that ability to do something that doesn’t involve merely writing text posts. They’ve built in easy tools for customizing the look of your site, building pictures albums, and posting photos from your mobile phone. Sadly, as dumb a contraction as “blogging” is, they’ve gone one step farther and officially adopted “moblogging” as a term. When I hear the word I just think that it’s a new term for gay bashing.
