If you told me to write a love song tonight, I'd have a lot of trouble. But if you tell me to write a love song about a girl with a red dress who goes into a bar and is on her fifth martini and is falling off her chair, that's a lot easier, and it makes me free to say anything I want.
-- Stephen Sondheim

I've been blogging on Typepad over at Listen Well. And after a week, I have to say that Typepad is the most search-unfriendly unfriendly platform one could imagine. Evidently, I have more editorial control if I pay more money every month, but that's awfully silly to me. It's not a true web site where I can upload files. It's a writing platform, and that's all.  What's the sense in that? And even at that price, it's quite limited. Here at beatcanvas, which I wrote myself, I have total control. And here, I have a friendly way to manage my search engine placement, right down to the page title, keywords, and metatags in each post. Besides, I have readership here, about 100 daily (or so) readers, and about 1,000 who show up sporadically each month. So unless I find a domain I like where I can host the site, I think I'll skip the extra payments and let the Typepad platform expire. I don't see the value in it. In the meantime, I'll post the content here beatcanvas. |

The next step up has the features/benefits you seek. Everybody I work with (including corporate sites that don't yet blog) are on Typepad Pro. |

Yeah, I figured that they were, but I can't justify the $15/month or $150/year cost. Maybe I'll create listenwell.beatcanvas.com. Saves me money. |

Now, you must be on to something because I have noticed that your material always appears at the top of the Central Iowa Bloggers site. Sometimes even when you are not the latest person to post. Rush |

I wish you'd expand on this. I think it's interesting that your tags are working so well. I blog on squarespace and like the service, but wonder daily how to drive traffic. I thought I saw that Moveable Type(?) is $50/year, which is a huge savings over what I pay (and I don't have my own URL, that's more), but wonder what the difference will be. |
