Guess that is https://bookofjoe.typepad.com/ - adding it to the ArchiveTeam list of blogs to save.

Thank you! This is the up to date site: https://www.bookofjoe.com/

Seems that is hosted on TypePad too?

Why do the two sites show different content, despite both being hosted on TypePad?

For 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

We're looking at how feasible it would be to do an export-import conversion:

I have no clue. But the latter one is up to date.

Just raising my hand in bittersweet resignation — I loved my Typepad world, 16 years until it was felled by social media.

Of course I want to save it, it’s priceless history — but every method I’ve tried (I’m sure there’s more) has failed. It seems to not be “crawlable” or something. The Wayback Machine tell me it can’t scrape it.

I manually moved a few things years ago. But I sure can’t do it all, there must be thousands of posts in my inventory, tens of thousands of comments. Boy did we have fun there for awhile.
