Just a bloggy aside. For the last month, Typepad has been driving me nuts. Posts weren't publishing, the browser was timing out. And posting was more than a chore. I was having to cache, copy and save everything to not lose it when it didn't go through. Using different PCs and so forth, I knew it wasn't on my end.
Finally after getting through the first level of Typepad customer service, along with threatening to potentially move four blogs I am associated with - I made it to engineering and it seems like there was a bug in some javascript that was causing the problem.
The tech really stayed with the problem. I can't complain about that. The service has grown over the four plus years I've been here. As always, you get some good and some bad with that. But, hopefully, for now, problem solved and blogging won't be such a pain in the butt. It really was too much. Might be part of why I have been posting so lightly.
It got to the point where I was dredding hitting "publish", as each post was the same nightmare experience over and over, again.
The problem seems solved for now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, anyway.
Hey there! I work in TypePad support and checked on the status of your help request after reading this post. We fixed the issue causing you problems when publishing on all blogs you post to, including the blog you post to as a guest author. I'm really sorry you encountered this bug, and please let yet us know if see any other problems!
