I'm testing out the Typepad blogging service, to see if I like it better than Blogger. I always want to change my templates and alter the look of the blog, and wind up screwing things up on Blogger. So far, my reaction is that I'm getting what I pay for - Typepad is not free like Blogger, but not terribly pricey, either. My HTML and CSS knowledge has been picked up on my own, and generally extends to making things bold and posting photos. Not a good recipe for an attractive blog.
At this point, you probably don't know this blog is here unless I've told you about it. So bear with me as I test things out and make the blog look all purty.
