Touchez for Typepad! Trial Taken Forward

      Third Party DNS and Blog Activation was a cinch for me with

                            Typepad this week. Just as well as I don't have a lot of time and can't afford to mess up! Linking blogs to our websites is supposed to be a good idea, generating traffic and the blogs taking on a life of their own as well  - so I thought I had better take some time out from freelancing/website building  this week, get my sleeves rolled and just get on with it.

I needn't have worried about wasting time - a few simple clicks and a short wait to make sure DNS settings were updated and it was done. I was less happy about the fact that I had to upgrade my account, although luckily the increase in cost was not too much and it means I can consider melding the design with my website one above. In order to avail of the third party service, Typepad users have to upgrade from Basic to the next level. The increase was manageable however - had it not been, I would have had to consider whether the outlay would prove cost-effective. After all, I had just decided not to be a serious 'hunched over the computer and pinging away all day' breed of blogger.

So, this remains a 'life in the day of ' kind of a freelancer diary notes blog. Over the coming week, I'll make some decisions as to what goes in it! One thing that probably won't go in is a Tip Jar or Donations Button! The Very Idea! Discussion on that next week - if people find my free sharing of experiences of Typepad useful, for example, I would prefer they showed their appreciation by clicking on my Typepad banner if they're going to do it anyway!
