I use typepad but everyone, including you, tell me I should use WordPress. Why? They say it's easier, yet you need a geek to set it up? I don't understand. I love your information - keep it coming - you are the dedicate internet marketing school teacher we all need. Sam Manfer Connie,

This gives both more flexibility and more responsibility to the site owner. Definitely not a choice for everyone! WordPress also offers the option of installing a blog community using WordPressMU. Again, not for everyone, but a cool option for those who need it! I can see one advantage of WordPress, and that is that you can self-host it, and the software is free.

I guess it comes down to personal preference and usability. Some would prefer WordPress' functionality, despite some shortcomings vis-a-vis TypePad, some will prefer TypePad over WordPress, even though TypePad cannot do all the things WordPress can do. I have blogs on both systems, and I cannot decide which is "best". That's impossible. If money is the issue, then a free blog on wordpress.com linked to a domain, costing as little as $10/yr for domain-linking and $10/yr for the domain can be a great start-up. On the other hand, on TypePad I find that you get what you pay for, and in terms of user-friendlyness, I find TypePad much better.
