Well, I've had it with the TypePad dashboard among other things
I know, I know, you're thinking, "Kay, what the hell!!! Make up your mind girl!". Yes, I can feel your energy right now as I type this, but I have to tell you, the TypePad dashboard is not easy to use and creating a post (especially in the morning when I'm half awake) takes a ton of time, and quite frankly, it's making blogging a little difficult for me. In fact, it's making blogging not fun at all at the moment.
And don't even get me started on the comment section of this blog. Putrid.
All TypePad blogs have this kind of comment section such as the one on here, and to be able to have a better comment section I'd have to go to Haloscan at least temporarily (which would be an easy application in the stylesheet) and who the hell likes using Helloscan! I don't. Some blogs it works fine on, but most, it doesn't. Anyways, on TypePad it would mean I would have to go to Advanced Templates to have a better comment section, but honestly, once you click on "Apply Advanced Template", there's no going back and you lose a lot of your template and have to rebuild it. I know how to do most of it, but do I want to take the time? Nope! It's very time consuming.
The current comment section was also hard on my eyes. As pointed out by many of you, not having a defined break between comments was just not easy to read. Again, this part of the blog was frustrating for sure.
TypePad has been very difficult to use I have to say. It's too bad, because I liked the look of the blog, especially after I got the font to be larger for my 'ole foggie' readers, so they too could participate! LOL
Anyhoo...
I recently was on the Wordpress forums looking up something (can't remember) and I saw a post by another blogger whom I know online and he was upset about right wingers harassing him and was looking for guidance. I left a comment on his forum thread telling him to do what I do: PUT GARLIC AROUND YOUR NECK, HIT THE GAS, AND PEEL AWAY. I also told him I missed the Wordpress community and Wordpress in general. Well, the Moderator for the thread left a comment back to me a few seconds later telling me he too can't stand TypePad either and will help me get my Wordpress White Noise Insanity files to not have an Error 404 message when I point my domain to the blog.
Soooo...what I'm trying to say is we're gonna stop this WNI limo right now, turn around, and head back to the Wordpress garage! Sounds good to me! I hope it does to you. I've forwarded all the posts I've done on TypePad to the Wordpress blog so I won't lose them when I cancel my monthly membership with TypePad. Had I not done that, all posts here would be deleted and gone forever. To the trolls, that would have been a godsend, but for me, it would have been 3 flat tires on the WNI limo!
So, let's go back to where we were originally parked: www.whitenoiseinsanity.wordpress.com
If you have WNI linked on your sidebar as "www.whitenoiseinsanity.com", please change it to the address above. At some point it will go back to that, but not until I figure out why I get an Error Message when I point my domain to the Wordpress version of WNI. Sorry for the confusion, but we're all adults and we can handle it, right? *crickets chirping* Good gawd I hope so! LOL
Woohoo! I'm excited about it. *peeling away from the curb* See you over there! ;-)
