Comments from those who selected TypePad as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008

• "absolutely an incredible blogging tool. We use it for the blogs mentioned below in my signature and couldn’t be happier. We pay around $150/year for our needs, but there are less expensive options available. Includes RSS feeds, which are probably worth of a category all by themselves. Learn how to create RSS feeds through The Common Craft Show. " Bonni Stachowiak
• "To maintain my 2 blogs I continue to use TypePad.  I have tried other (free) tools but I still prefer TypePad.  Anyway, changing blogging tools means the RSS feed breaks, and until someone comes up with a way to re-direct feeds, shall stick with TypePad."  Jane Hart
• "I use this blog tool for some years now. Userfriendly and reliable.  Helps me reflecting on developments."  Wilfred Rubens
• "Writing a blog is a learning activity, of course,  but reading the best blogs that are available is one of my most productive learning experiences."  Jerome Martin
• "Great blogging tool."  Phil Bradley
• "My recommended blog platform. Blogging has become a key medium for self-directed learning and TypePad serves me well."  Patrick Mayfield
• "This is the platform I use for blogging.  I was able to get my blog up and running quickly and easily at the time when I knew nothing about blogging."  Anastasia Prynikova
• "Blogging is my chief way of making sense of things. I have a premium account because it gives me maximum functionality, access to a lot of cool widgets and the ability to create unlimited blogs, which I do for many of my clients to test out ideas and prototype websites."  Michele Martin

• " I use TypePad, which is a commercial tool but it gives me some extra functionality not available in most of the free tools.  I particularly like the option to schedule postings, which means I can write them in advance and they are posted automatically for me at a time I want"  Jane Hart
• "Economical. Very fast support-desk, run by humans. Easily learnt, but see The new polaroid is Typepad for an adverse comment on what happens if you want to move stuff out of Typepad"  Seb Schmoller
