Looking Forward to a Great 2010

Happy New Year from the TypePad team.

It’s the first Monday of 2010 and we thought we’d look forward to some exciting things coming up in TypePad-land this year. Here are the main themes for the beginning of the year.

• Connecting – online and offline – to fellow TypePad community members. Watch this blog for upcoming meet-up events in your area and online events to help you discover great people on TypePad. We’ll also be introducing new features to make it easier for you to connect with bloggers who share your interests, whether your scrapbooker, a bookkeeper, a designer, an economist or anything in between.

• Looking good in pictures. TypePad is the home to some of the most creative and beautiful artists online. We’re improving our image and media management in 2010 so you can spend more time making your art and your readers can spend more time gushing over your amazing creations.

• Great theme design. In addition to making it easier for you to customize your own design, we’re also going to make it easier for any designer to make a great looking theme on TypePad. And we’ll be adding more themes from around the TypePad community.

• Getting the most out of TypePad. We’re super-excited about the launch of TypePad for Dummies in February, written by Melanie Nelson and Shannon Lowe of the TypePad community. We’ll also be adding more resources, both from the community and from our TypePad One team, to help you create the perfect site.

We hope you had a happy and safe holiday. Now let’s get blogging.
