One such platform was Typepad. Typepad is a paid service based on Movable Type , a very popular blogging platform, that is proprietary. Add a few important plugins, and I’m back to where I was just a few days ago on Typepad. Two years ago, there wasn’t a platform that was really ready for that.
I’ve moved it off of Typepad, and onto Wordpress. Choosing a theme Migrate the posts and comments (exporting it from typepad, importing into wordpress – all web gui based, very easy. July 15, 2007 As you will have undoubtedly figured out – this blog moved! I’d recommend it to anyone. There are a few changes.
A ways back, Six Apart promised that it would open source MovableType , their flagship software product, and the software that underlies their TypePad service. This blog (and my personal blog ) were on TypePad for years, and I rather like the MoveableType interface and feature set. Yesterday, they finally released it.
For the past five years, she has worked with nonprofits doing website strategy, navigation design, software selection, and now, as director of Idealware , a whole lot of software research. For an organization doesn't have skill in HTML and other technical stuff, TypePad and WordPress.com (the hosted version) are likely a good fit.
Is this typepad? at 10:46 am It is not typepad. I’m totally sold, at this point – I think it’s better (and cheaper) than Typepad, and it’s free software. { 2 comments… read them below or add one } 1 Beth Kanter 07.20.07 Did you switch platforms? I like it a lot. 2 admin 07.21.07
I decided to move both of my blogs off of typepad, and to other platforms. It’s definitely worth a listen. There is a part two coming, I understand. Also, I’ll be moving this blog soon – probably next week. My main blog is moving to WordPress, this blog is moving over to the Metacentric.org Joomla CMS.
at 1:35 pm And just noticed that you are using the “online status&# widget for typepad and would like to know what you think about that in terms of building community on a nonprofit blog? I was also wondering if I could do a quick audio interview with you on this topic. 3 Michelle Murrain 10.31.06
In 2002, a nonprofit technology colleague introduced me to blogging and set up a blog on his server. Later, he introduced me to Typepad where I started Beth’s Blog in 2003. My blog started as my Trainer’s Learning Journal – a place to jot down practice and content related to building nonprofit technology capacity!
Update: MySpace, SixApart (LiveJournal, Typepad and the newish social networking blog platform Vox), and Bebo have now all joined OpenSocial. Anyway, OpenSocial is something I’ll be watching, playing with, and writing about as time goes on, and considering what it means for those of us in this sector. at 1:15 pm Open Social !
Anyway, he mentioned that he set up a Typepad blog for Witness' Director, Gillian Caldwell to document her trip to Sierra Leone with Angelina Jolie to deliver recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to the government. You can read case studies of how their videos have made a difference here.
I've switched over the typepad auto posting to Facebook which worked great, but now seems to have crapped out. Hat tip to Steve Bridger - the famous Buzz Director. I've tried two other Flickr to Facebook apps but they are glitchy and also don't integrate with your Facebook photos album.
My friend Abby, the Executive Director of the school gardening nonprofit, Urban Sprouts , has taken the plunge and started an Urban Sprouts blog. If I had known I would like blogging so much, I would have set up a Typepad account, because it has more features, but Blogger is just fine and it's a bargain! Set up a blog hosting account.
