One such platform was Typepad. Typepad is a paid service based on Movable Type , a very popular blogging platform, that is proprietary. A few tweaks (mentioned in the previous post,) and I was up and running with all posts and comments intact. Two years ago, there wasn’t a platform that was really ready for that.

There’s been some interesting activity in the realm of women in open source. I decided to move both of my blogs off of typepad, and to other platforms. There is a podcast with a group of women developers that was recorded during RailsConf. It’s definitely worth a listen. There is a part two coming, I understand.
