Thanks for the review!

I just blogged about your Blog Wars series here: http://ajlcom.instantspot.com

I have to admit it, WordPress does have some pretty cool features, but in the end, sorry guys, it’s just not enough. In my battle of Typepad versus WordPress I have to say that Typepad wins.

In the end, three reasons made me chose Typepad over WordPress:
1. I need to be able to customize my templates.
2. I need to be able to display commercial content
3. I need to find the answers I really need in the support/help section.

I do like WordPress, but it’s just not for me. Sorry.

I will check out the dedicated IP address. I’m only afraid that it might cost a fair amount to get one. I’ve retired just last year and that has seriously cut our income! And this is not a business blog so it is hard to justify spending much on it.

I will definitely come check out your site and workflow collaboration info! We’ve been in Las Vegas for my birthday (had a great time!) and my husband’s brother is coming from Italy to visit so I’ve been so busy it is hard to even get something posted. I keep trying to find something little to post, but it still takes time!

Is there anything web 2.0 related that sounds interesting to you for me to look at next? I’ve gotten some nice feedback from people who like that my posts are easy to understand for beginners and they say it inspires them to try some of the web 2.0 tools so I was thinking about doing some posts on just some of the easy to use, basic web 2.0 tools like Flickr and Twitter and things like that. Sort of a web 2.0 for beginners. There are a lot of people who really don’t know where to start and so much of the info on the web is too technical for them.

Learning 2.0 is big in libraries and I hope to use some and add some and come up with something useful for the average web user. I’ll have to talk to my husband and see if he minds me using some of their tools. He is the head of IT at the Allen County Public Library and they are just getting ready to launch their Learning 2.0 program on Sept 19 (in conjunction with Stephen Abram coming to speak at the ACPL regarding web 2.0/library 2.0).

I also plan to set up our Aikido club website on Instant Spot and blog about that since Instant Spot was a surprise to me at how easy it is to use and to set up more of a website that includes a blog. It seems like a great tool for clubs and small businesses and a way to set up a website for information for people.

Take care,
