Transformation From Typepad Service To Wordpress Service - A Piece of Cake?

Both Typepad Service and Wordpress are platforms for bloggers. Both give you the freedom to develop any type of website, starting with your parrot's personal page, and ending with demanded real estate website with 400,000 unique visitors per month. In the last years, s number of Typepad Service users have been considering a jump to Wordpress. Why?

Wordpress pulled ahead Typepad Service, that's why! Both services are customizable, but guys at Wordpress did much better job in the last few years. Wordpress let the design of improvements in public hands and enthusiasts now may harness over 11 000 addons, which are able to enhance any aspect of your pages you can think about – without any expense.

Typepad Service discussion system was overwhelmed by spammy comments, meanwhile Wordpress conquered the field with Akismet addon. There are more issues for Wordpress, like instinctive implementation of multimedia. Naturally, Typepad Service allows you to enhance your website too, but you must posses (non-trivial) skills in CSS and HTML.

The burning issue is – can you shift from Typepad Service to Wordpress simply? Well, SixApart Anil Dash did not make it easy for you. SixApart Typepad Service has no well-working export function, which would assist you. Users may use its unmanageable export function, which will leave you with changed permalinks and which needs difficult skilled labor to shift your images. You may use Atom exporter, but Atom would shift only a defined fragment of your posts and no discussion posts at all.

Currently, jump from Typepad Service to Wordpress is very difficult. Either you have to to spend couple dozens of hours of your precious time to complete the transformation, or you have to cash out some Typepad to Wordpress professionals.
