  1. Advert? Maybe. But honestly, seeing that ALA hasn’t been updated since November or so I don’t mind seeing anything new on this site, advert or not.

  2. Is this not the lamest ALA article ever?

    If it was open source then I could at least form some semblance of a flimsy link between this and “the Rest of Us”. As it stands there is not even a free version planned so thanks for the recommendation on how to spend my money.

    Now, can someone point me to the ALA article about Dreamweaver MX support for XHTML?

  3. they’d shut up about how wonderful and standards-oriented and all TypePad will be and just work on getting the thing out the door and available, heh. I have a fistful of $$$ waiting to be spent on TypePad, but it sure looks like it’s never going to arrive . . .

    I want to send them money. Where’s my TypePad?

  4. an on-topic, free article on a designer/developer site with no ads that finally starts publishing again incurs the wrath of the blogsphere. maybe those with the wrath should find a more underground resource to visit.

  7. Despite the bit of repetition I noticed in the article, the article was very helpful and I think Six Apart will do very well with TypePad. Though I was a bit unsuccessful in my attempts in install MovableType, I would like to try TypePad someday.

  8. Could not read this article bexause the lines merge together if I go ALT t-o-e-z to bypass the stylesheet and increase the text to MEDIUM on Win98. If that iis what ‘standard’ means, than heaven help people with reading disabilities.

  9. jo,
    to overcome this troubles get yourself the free MyIE2 plugin for Internet Explorer
    (http://www.myie2.com, some other plugins do the trick as well)

    You’ll be able to zoom in and out using Ctrl/+ and Ctrl/-,
    zooming will apply to text and graphics, CSS will get overridden;
    Mozilla1+/Netscape6+ offer the same feature.

  10. “These people put in their free time to deliver a free product”
    I don`t think TypePad will be free …
