A Site For Typepad Bloggers
If you ‘re a blogger that uses Typepad (like me), then you are going to love this site: Typepad Hacks. The site’s goals are to collect useful hacks for extending the capabilities of TypePad blogs, provide a forum for issues, news and user concerns about Six Apart products and services, and to organize users into a unified voice to lobby Six Apart for the features, fixes and changes to TypePad most important to us. This is certainly going to become a useful resource for the Typepad bloggers out there. As more people get involved, their "unified voice" will definitely have an influence on SixApart’s plans for features and fixes — how could it not? The site owner, John T. Unger, evens has plans on "How To Fund a Revolution So Noboby Gets Hurt," which explains how users can get together to collectively fund new features. What new features would you want in Typepad? Head over to that post, and let him know.

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for spreading the word about Typepad Hacks.
The blog has definitely captured the attention of the folks at TypePad and Six Apart, so it looks like there’s a good chance that user requests may lead to some success. It’ll take time, but I’m optimistic.
While we wait, I’ll continue to try and find hacks and workarounds that can be used to resolve as many of the user requested features that haven’t been implemented into the platform yet.
