I switched from a TypePad blog to a self-hosted WordPress blog. Appreciate the host of plugins and features, and having the blob on my website. Seemed to have problems with TypePad that are non-issues with WordPress. Both are powerful but having a self-hosted blog is better for rankings and search engines.

I am a WordPress convert, as well. Have used Typepad for years (still do for one of my blogs, but plan to make the switchover very soon). I was very happy with Typepad the first few years I used it, but their “improvements” have made it slow and clunky, and I’m forever having to contact customer service to have them fix minor glitches that shouldn’t be glitches at all.
When you consider that WordPress is free — plus you get your own domain name — and you have to pay a monthly fee for Typepad, it’s a no-brainer.
I’m a little leery of exporting hundreds of blog posts from Typepad to WordPress, but I’ll just have to try it and see how it works (I’ve heard from others that it’s an easy transition).

I blog on two sites, one in spaces on Windows, and one in Blogger.com. I also have another web site that I am working on where I will put more of my creative writings and poems. I blog every day and try to keep my blogs up to date. I need the information given in this site to help me get more traffic in my blogs and to make them better. I am keeping open many windows at this moment in order to learn more about what I am doing.

Way to go, Sandra!
One thing I’ve noticed among people (myself included) who blog at multiple venues is that trying to keep up with several blogs and Web sites is hard work. If it works for you to consolidate your blogs into one (if they promote the same brand or are on similar topics), that’ll help a lot.
Also, if you can put your Web site and your blog on the same site (WordPress.org works great for this), that will not only help your SEO, but it’ll be less work for you.
