TypePad

The TypePad Preview release went live yesterday.

Looking at the comparison chart I can't help but think that even the basic option is overloaded. A person new to blogging (and yes the $4.95/m "Basic" package is intended for them) will most likely feel a tad overwhelmed by the features and tech lingo.

(Yes yes I know that saying _anything_ even remotely negative about TypePad right now is a major faux pas over here on the West Coast , but I'll take my chanses.)

On the other hand, more experinced bloggers will love the options and features. But probably not the price. I find $14.95/month to be a bit steep even for the "Pro" option.
