Comparing Blog Platforms #5: TypePad Leading By a Nose

The 2008 BlogCastGirl Blog Platform Challenge continues in my quest to find the system that anyone can understand.

So far, I've built blogs on Wordpress.com, TypePad.com and Squarespace.com.  <<And yes, it is getting a little wacky working in three editors.  I don't plan to continue this much longer.>>

Blog Platform Challenge So Far:  Typepad Leading

Here is a summary of the results so far.  TypePad is in the lead for general useability and promotional support.  The next test is building ads and affiliate programs into the blog (Wordpress.com excluded), and after that I'm going to check out how much support each platform has for customizing pages.
