TypePad is the one

I really like blogging on Posterous, Tumblr, and WordPress.com, but I think TypePad is my favorite. It takes more time to customize because the options are so extensive. I just added Feedburner, Google Analytics, and of course, the obligatory Twitter widget. I like the Web 2.0 look as well. I'm not looking to have ads all over my blog, but any income would be welcome at this point, so I'll be checking out the Monetize options soon.

[update] Just got Feed Flare working on the RSS feed, but not on the site. I wonder if you have to disable the default TypePad comments for Feed Flare options to show up at the bottom of posts? I'll work on this later.

What's up with WordPress.com stats?

Yesterday I posted a shortened link to an entry on my WordPress.com blog. It got 24 clicks. But WordPress.com stats say my blog only got 2 clicks. How is that even possible, unless those stats are wrong?

So I'm posting this "test blog post" on TypePad. I know a few people will click on it. Thanks! I'd like to see if these stats are correct. If WordPress.com stats are that far off, I'm not using it. I'm pretty sure TypePad is better overall anyway. Thanks again for clicking on my link. Have a great day!
