Great news in the blogging world as the developers of Movable Type have announced the imminent (later this year) release of a new application called TypePad. TypePad would provide a central server for hosting, much like Blogger, with all of the user-friendly customization aspects of Movable Type. For those who are not well-versed in dealing with file manipulation and/or the acquisition of server space, this should make breaking away from Blogger much easier. Ben Hammersley wrote an article in the Guardian that announces the new product.
