Shifting Paradigms
08.18.05 (4:14 am)   [edit]
A play on words for the subject line which means I'm looking at shifting the whole blog to SixApart using TypePad. Does anyone have any experience with SixApart that would be a red flag as far as using them instead of TBlog?

The reason I am looking at making the switch is the total lack of any response whatsoever from Tblog management to concerns registered here by the customers. It's cheap enough here but you get what you pay for. I'm not paying much but then I'm not getting much either for those few dollars I'm paying or more correctly have already paid.

It's not just the system problems or the incredibly slow server but the absolute silence in response to inquiries. If we are paying this guy money we deserve at least a minimal response and so far I haven't see a bloody word.

Hey, Jim. I'm sure it isn't much surprise to you that I agree with your decision to leave. I haven't had any experience with SixApart, but I imagine just about anywhere you go is going to have better support than we have here at tBlog... I mean, a little support is better than none at all. Frankly, I'm sticking to my opinion that Rocky is overwhelmed and can't seem to pull his head out to undo what he has done. I suspect all the bot blogs have done him in and he just doesn't know what to do. Even if he is researching alternatives to flush out the 'unwanted' from his server, he is dismal as far as communicating to his customers go. I support the notion of leaving. Just shoot us a quick message when you do go, or perhaps leave behind a link so we can read you in your new place, please.

I've got a journal set up over at LiveJournal, which is free :)

I prefer it to Blogger, which is also free, but I like the commenting better at LJ (nests them, not just a straight list, so you can follow conversation threads)

Jim,

I had a problem with the new blog I'm doing with my client and as you saw on my blog, they responded within 16 minutes to solve it. Go Wahoos!

Although I have not been a paying customer for more than a year, I hear that tBlog automatically rebills you on your anniversary date. If you figure out how to insure that you won't get billed again, please let me know.

And I second Lindy's thoughts... link please. :)
