Typepad is Shutting Down

Typepad, which launched in 2003 to make it easier for the masses to start their blogging journey, is shutting down. From a blog post: We have made the difficult decision to discontinue Typepad, effective September 30, 2025. After September 30, 2025, access to Typepad -- including account management, blogs, and all associated content -- will no longer be available. Your account and all related services will be permanently deactivated. Please note that after this date, you will no longer be able to access or export any blog content.

Blogging is being reborn

Sites like Substack are making blogging cool again. There are tons of great reads there, I highly recommend checking it out.

Womp womp

Another on bites the dust.

Never heard of it.

How big is this rock I'm living under? I've been on the internet since about 1992 and have never even heard of TypePad.

Pretty big it seems - I had never heard of it too - and I haven't seen you wandering about... Hi!

Re:

It is a nice rock.

Same here but I was never that interested in blogs. I can remember reading maybe a handful since the early nineties, but I was never much interested in other peoples ramblings. Other early web page types were much more interesting to me, some even had dancing hamsters!

Too bad modern browsers don't allow audio auto-play, for the proper experience.

Me either.

Another product, service or company I've never heard of is going under.

Same as it ever was....

Anyone know of a way to archive content?

Anyone know an automated way to archive old blogs from TypePad?

I've used a program called HTTrack to do this in the past. It might work for Typepad..

I'm surprised Blogger is still active

...normally Google cans everything after a few years. Maybe I shouldn't mention it, else management will take notice.
