Leave It Behind was chosen as today's featured blog on TypePad! Each day, the site highlights a blog to show the many creative uses of TypePad.
It's a true pleasure to be picked as I'm 
approaching my third year with TypePad. I've definitely developed a loyalty for the service, though there are good alternatives that are often cheaper. I don't always agree with their direction and there are periodic issues, but it is a polished, well-done and reliable blogging service. Besides being a great tool, the one thing that sets them apart from anyone else is their customer service. They have some seriously smart and kind people working for them. When I have a question or encounter a bug, I know I'll receive an intelligent, thorough, and friendly response. They are sincere in their desire to resolve any issue and really listen to their customers.
I've experimented with all the major options and at the end of the day, I always come back to TypePad. If you haven't started blogging or are looking for a more powerful option, give TypePad a try. You won't be disappointed.
What is your main reason for going with a hosted blog service rather than hosting it yourself?

Just simplicity. I've considered renting space on a server and using WordPress or Textpattern, but for my blog, I want someone else to maintain and update the software. I also prefer TypePad and like having access to support whenever I need it.

Gotcha. TypePad seems really nice. And I've looked at it. But I'd always had some server space for other "projects" already, so I couldn't rationalize spending extra for TypePad when all I needed to do was grab a free WordPress install.
I got the book. Enjoying it. It's mostly stuff I probably knew already, but it's good to have it all in one volume. But I find myself nodding and saying, "yep, yep" a lot. Good stuff.
