We’re switching blogging platforms
We’re switching to WordPress this week from TypePad.
While this does mean BeatBlogging.Org will be getting more features and a much more powerful platform, it also means it will have some interruptions and hiccups this week. We have a new, custom WordPress theme we’re launching. We’re adding new features and switching hosts and platforms, while transferring all the old posts.
Something will go wrong in the process, but we’ll make sure to fix everything.
Rest assured, this switch will be well worth it.
If you have any questions about why we are switching blogging platforms, please ask away. We feel WordPress gives us more power and flexibility than TypePad.
For many organizations and projects like BeatBlogging.Org, WordPress can be a powerful CMS that provides a lot of flexibility. And, yes, WordPress and our new hosting will be cheaper than TypePad.

Congratulations. I use Wordpress for the UBC j-school’s student website, TheThunderbird.ca, and have found it a great way of creating a site on a budget: http://is.gd/2FQk
@Angela,
What features is WordPress missing? Are there certain features you really miss?

I think Wordpress is awesome. There are a few features you may miss though. However, they seem to respond well to requests. I hope you don’t have too many problems with the switch.
