So long, Sayonara. Typepad, the original blogging tool is going away...
We have made the difficult decision to discontinue Typepad, effective September 30, 2025.
What Does This Mean for You?
After September 30, 2025, access to Typepad – including account management, blogs, and all associated content – will no longer be available. Your account and all related services will be permanently deactivated.
Please note that after this date, you will no longer be able to access or export any blog content.
What Do You Need to Do?
If you need to retain your content, please export your content before September 30, 2025. After this date, your content will no longer be accessible to you and will not be available for export.

If you're an old school blogger, you might have started/used/or still use Typepad. It was the first real blogging program back in the day.
Now it's going away. If you still have anything over there, you have until the end of the month to go recover your data. The way to do that can be found at their website.
Sigh... seems like all the 'stuff' we started with, Typepad, Netscape, and a bunch of other 'programs' are now dead. Not that I will EVER miss Word Perfect... Grrr...
Anyhoo, it's time (or past time) to move on. Highly recommend Open Office.
OpenOffice is no longer in active development, LibreOffice is branched from the same code base and is still be actively improved. They are fully compatible.
Stuff like this makes me suspicious of getting my consciousness uploaded to a computer.
