I'm fan of MyBlogLog and it's widget, it can work wonders for a new blog community. However, you'll notice I've CSS'd my widget beyond recognition to make it blend in with the unconventional blog design. Load time is also another problem with the service at the moment. I'd estimate my site would load twice as fast without it. WordPress is just a great resource - and I'm now an open source fanatic due to WP. Do you have much experience with TypePad and it's hosted services? Andrew - thanks for being the very first person to comment on the blog!

Do you have much experience with TypePad and it’s hosted services?

I use Wordpress on my own domain, again customised; although it is currently much closer to standard now than I have had it in the past. I started out with Blogger as many people did but it only took a few posts to outgrow it. I would recommend setting up Wordpress on your hosting for anyone looking for a blog platform as it provides far more flexibility than the hosted option. Neil,
