Typepad is shutting down

#62September 30 is a pretty small window to migrate. Hopefully it's enough.
Coincidentally, and fortunately, I was already in the process of migrating a blog with 10 year’s worth of content from TypePad. It’s not enough.
TypePad’s export process is awful: the output is a poorly formatted .txt file which is hard to parse reliably. The export process itself fails at least half the time. There’s no export process for images or style files. Automated crawl processes fail.
I LOL’ed at this part of the post:

That's unfortunate. Good luck.

#64Sad to see a venerable blogging platform bite the dust. I never used it but do stumble across typepad blogs from time to time.

#65For former MoveableType fans missing "the good old days" of CMS before headless CMS and the JAMstack took over the world, do take a look at: https://textpattern.com
I think the progression people went trough is MoveableType > Textpattern > Kirby so if you want the “latest generation” of the simple server rendered CMS you might as well try https://getkirby.com
I'd bet way more people went MovableType -> Wordpress and are mostly still there.

#66Just dug up my old Typepad blog and cringed at the 20 year old content, but definitely have to take a backup because I also used the photo album feature. We blogged back then more how we use Twitter today - short form thought bubble content, but it feels a lot more personal (hence the cringe - I can't imagine posting in public like that today).
This is a dead horse topic but so much of social media today is rage bait, being sold something, or being scammed into something else. I'm nostalgic for that era of the web.

#67rest in peace.

#68Wouldn't it be more logical to move everyone to wordpress and continue as a premium hosting with support?

The link has a typo. It should point to: https://help.typepad.com/shutdown-faq.html

#70Somebody save Kathy Sierra’s blog! https://headrush.typepad.com/ I’ll try to archive it. I love her work. But even if I save it, it should live on somewhere else.
