Well, there IS a TypePad answer ...
...but I'm not carried away with enthusiasm on its account. Still, TypePad, as ever, and as represented by their excellent Help team, have replied to my heated rave regarding the radical change made to opening up one's blog.
I have to give ’em a tick for putting up with me and my issues over the months without once losing their cool. They're very good at that. And I'd guess they're all given instruction in dealing with customers like me ... although, in my own defence, I'm never actually rude – just forecful. When I get stuck into ’em it's because of something I really care about, or really can't grasp, or really feel irritated by. Come to think of it, I suppose those are the things that make everyone edgy ...
Anyway ... Their suggested solution is the one I'd already come up with for myself; and in the absence of something of greater brevity, it will have to do.
The fact is that I actually do consider my blogging platform company to be good, sound, professional and extremely respectable. My remaining whinge is that I don't know why they made the change they did (although I do know it's something technical), and I don't like the way it was foisted upon us without notice and in a manner far too abrupt. All that being said, I have no wish to move elsewhere – for starters, I know beyond doubt that I'd never get at any other platform the kind of assistance I have here – and the prospect of starting over would mean I didn't. If you get my drift.
Perhaps the bottom line is that I hate change. And I especially hate it when I don't know why it's being wrought.
