For example, the Moveable Type site is running some version of Moveable Type (probably not Typepad) but which version? They’ve stripped the generator meta [...]

Frames Destroy Your Pagerank for No Good Reason 0

Check this out……. this guy wraps his blog in a frameset just so he can use violenceworker.com instead of violenceworker.typepad.com. Such a shame especially considering that Typepad supports domain mapping. Tailrank doesn’t index within framesets either btw. I’m also not sure that we should be adding support for it…

My Kingdom for an OS X TypePad Comment Approval App 2

TypePad gets too much spam (though I’m sure they’re still blocking 99% of it) to allow for open comments and their approval system is just way too slow. Its also impossible to READ the comment in TypePad before I can approve it so I end up having to go to the blog and read the thread there.I’d KILL for a comment reading and threading mechanism with easy approval of comments.Maybe this would be a nice new feature in Ecto.

Typepad Trackback Spam Storm? 1

Anyone else notice a significant uptake in Typepad trackback spam?I wish they’d implement a blacklist so that I can block trackbacks based on regexp…. Of course spam prevention is a big issue so they might be able to charge more $ for it.

Six Apart Raises $12M 1

According to Om Malik and Silicon Beat, Six Apart has raised a Series C round of financing for another $12M.As an early stage entrepreneur I’m really curious what the terms were like and stock distribution. I’m sure the founders have long since lost majority control but I might be wrong.

TypePad and WordPress should ship a blog directory. 1

TypePad also supports domain masking where the blog URL is feedblog.org and not feedblog.typepad.com. This means a lot more work is required to verify the ping is actually from TypePad.If these guys were to simply push a static XML dump of all their blog URLs this would be 95% of the way there.
