Avoid the Malls: Give the Gift of a TypePad

For those of you not wanting to venture off into the mad post-Thanksgiving Holiday Shopping sprees in your local stores and malls, Six Apart has the perfect excuse for you to stay home, feast on Thanksgiving Day left-overs, and still get all of your holiday shopping done. Starting next week, TypePad customers will be able to visit TypePad.com and purchase “the gift of a TypePad? for anyone on their holiday shopping list at a special holiday promotional price. An annual subscription of our TypePad Basic, Plus and Pro services will be reduced to just $39, $69, and $99 respectively, allowing you to save up to 55% off a yearly subscription to be given as a gift to anyone you know.

But wait! That’s not all. For a limited time, TypePad customers can get a free TypePad subscription to give as a gift this season. Simply renew your subscription to TypePad on an annual basis, and you will receive a free yearly subscription (at the same level) to give to someone on your holiday shopping list this season.

We expect our weblogs to be flying off warehouse shelves, so after your Thanksgiving weekend run, don’t walk, to your computer in the other room and visit TypePad.com and take part in these special promotional offers… while supplies last!

New Photo Album Templates and Other Fixes

Today we've posted more than a dozen new photo album styles, including two new seasonal designs (Autumn Leaves and Autumn Harvest), designs that are perfect for showing off the new baby in the house (available in both blue and pink themes, of course), and some color scheme additions to our classic styles.  To explore the new styles and apply them to your photo album, simply click on the style link in "Design" and choose the style from the pull-down menu. When you've found the one you like, press "Save Changes" and TypePad will apply the new album design automatically.

Additionally, based on feedback from members we've made a few small enhancements and squashed some minor bugs.

Rich Text Editing and Spell Check Come to TypePad

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve added two new features to TypePad:

• Rich text editing, aka “WYSIWYG�? (What You See is What You Get); and an
• Integrated spell checker.

One of our most important goals with TypePad is to make it easy and fun for you to add new content to your weblog. While some folks might enjoy writing "raw" HTML, we’ve been using rich text editing around the office for the last few weeks, and have found that it’s easier to write, review and edit posts before publishing them to our weblogs.
