I love my blog. I really really do. I’m really trying to take better care of it, and post to it, and develop it. I love TypePad for giving me a place to do this. And I really had to remind myself of that before I deleted the whole dang shebang today.
Because I ask you, WHAT the hell is so hard about including the abilty to change fonts in the basic package? Can anyone tell me? I get ONE goofy curly FONT? What is THAT? I mean, hello? Does it LOOK like a foo-froo font belongs in my site design?!
Important as a teeny detail like this may be to me, I don’t believe for one second that it’s worth an additional $10 in service fees. Nor is the ability to include my site logo at the top and not have it muck up the tags so my Technorati profile lists my site name as “Maas Publications”, instead of “IMG”.
So instead of shelling out, I work around.
In order to get my usual, pretty Arial 10 posts, I have to write and format in Word, (which anyone with web experience will know, is the Satan of web editors and should never EVER be used. EV-ER.) paste it into the TypePad editor, fiddle with it for about 6 hours if anything goes wrong with aforementioned psychotic Word code, give up, delete the post, repost the post, dick with it some more, delete it again and finally, reach the point where it’s gunked up enough to totally piss me off and post it in the only cheap-ass format TypePad will LET me.
And that is what has happened below.
Bah.
