Last week (or so) I passed my 1 year mark as a paying customer of Typepad. How do I remember this? I just glanced at my credit card statement and saw that they charged another year onto the card. I am not upset. I thought the renewal was coming up. I actually started using them in early September last year but I had a 1 month trial. I am normally against paying for hosting services since I could easily to it myself. But recently (actually starting with me using typepad) I have gotten lazy and figure it is just easier to let someone else deal with my hosting. that is why I host nothing at home anymore, and I have less stress to show for it.
