Since I started this blog nearly three years ago, Typepad has undergone two major revisions of its interface for bloggers. With each one, I have noticed no increase in functionality applicable to my blogging. However, new bugs have been introducted and never fixed. Last time around, I emailed Typepad about a bug related to indenting and junior authors. It was never fixed. In the new version of the interface, the bug is actually worse and makes the editing of junior author posts (like posts by my students) into a total nightmare. The new interface is also less responsive. And just minutes ago, I posted one of the student posts and it has yet to appear on the blog (although it is listed as "published" in my interface, albeit with none of the edits I made to the post). If anyone has any information about working around the bugs of the new system, let me know. I'm also, yet again, considering switching blogging platforms.

Cory, sometimes when posting a comment it is necessary to refresh/reload the browser to make it appear. The student post is here. If it isn't for you yet, maybe a refesh will do it.

Hi George,
It appears for me now. It just took quite a while after I posted it and I tried refreshing over and over. That has never happened before. I still can't get my edits on it to work, though. If anyone has any information, I would really appreciate it.

Technical things like that are beyond me....

Cory,
I just started a Wordpress and it is by far the best blog I have used. Like any powerful platform, it takes some time to adjust and I have no idea of the data you have in typepad would be easily transferred to a Wordpress.
