I've been playing with the Typepad beta. So far I'm pretty impressed. Very nice interface for page design, editing and such. Very easy to do things like blogrolls, and book and music lists... Take a look... http://lauer.typepad.com/weblog

I have encountered a few issues with the css layouts. (At least on my PC at home, the page doesn't load correctly in IE. ) It will be interesting to see how they price this...
