I’ve been playing around with TypePad off and on all day, and so far I give it a shiny gold star. The interface for posting entries and designing pages is clean and simple and quite WYSIWYG. I love that you can preview what your page will look like before you post it. The photo album feature is wonderful as well and produces similarly beautiful pages.
Of note are the Terms of Service which are satisfyingly lenient. Basically you can post whatever you want on your page and accept responsibility for what you put up. So you can’t break the law. But it doesn’t expressly forbid pornography anywhere!
Ahem. You can check out my TypePad page if you’d like. I’ve imported my entries from this page so that there’d be something to look at, and have created a photo album of my niece. I don’t expect to keep using TypePad once the 30-day trial ends, but I will strongly recommend it to anyone looking for web space.
