Moving from TypePad to WordPress
Looks like there is an increasing need for some website owners to change TypePad for WordPress lately, and on Foliovision is a very useful guide on how to do just that.
In the above article Alec Kinnear is writing about the rescue of his older Uncoy.com blog. Alec is an independant writer and photographer next to his web design and marketing business Foliovision.
In the Moving from Typepad to Wordpress: 2009 Guide he is adamant about how awful Typepad is as a blog platform for anything but the most basic weblog needs. The reasons for his move to WP were: that images look terrible on TypePad blogs, and the CSS is difficult to alter, plus stats are unreliable, as well as the tech support is one of for the worst on the web.
I am not agreeing or disagreeing with his arguments, but suffice it to say, that should you go to read his above mentioned Guide, you could read in the comments how many were grateful to him for the provided info and help.

And, of course, remember there are two sides to every story…and Mr. Kinnear’s business is based on moving people from TypePad to Wordpress.

You could be right Mark
but since I couldn’t deal with TP and do the things I do on WP I guess I am biased
