TypePad now supports web pages

A new addition to all levels of the TypePad service has been announced that allows you to create standalone web pages, for example offering contact details, without having to use "advanced templates" (available only at the highest subscription level and advisable only if you like messing about with code and design).

From the TypePad announcement:

With the new TypePad Pages, you can use all the power of TypePad's posting tools to create as many individual web pages as you want. And those pages have all the power of TypePad's widgets and rich media features, automatically inheriting the look and feel you've chosen for your blog.

The TypePad interface you use every day to update your blog now lets you create a web page as easily as you’d write a post. (That means you don't have to learn any complicated new tools.)

You create a page as you would a post: go to Compose > Page and add page content (text, images, video, etc). When you want to update a page,  open it from the List Pages tab and edit and save it as you would a post.  You can use pages to build a full website, or  just add details to your blog.

An eclectic mix Just a few bits and pieces: Useful advice: how not to be a grumpy old blogger. "How do you sustain yourself despite the negative things that sometimes come your way in the blogosphere?" asks Problogger. If, like science writer Carl Zimmer, your blog is your favourite waste of time, you might like to read his round-up of scientific blogs that he likes. Martyn Daniels of the Booksellers' Association gives us his own take on the Lulu "blooker" prize. He writes: A few years ago I was invited to a conference with top BBC managers to discuss strategy. The event wasn’t a small event and I found myself alongside other outsiders with considerable and different media input and thinking. I felt like a traditionalists in my open collared shirt and chinos as the others were aged between 16 and twenty-something, wore their street clothes and had little respect for Auntie and the rules by which she played. They told the executives about the internet world in which they lived and what the BBC needed to do. Interestingly, the BBC reacted, listened and many things that were discussed have impacted on their subsequent strategy. It was a brave approach but a wise...

Borkmann's Point at Euro Crime, and more It's that time of the week again, when the new reviews are up at Euro Crime. The new reviews are of A Fall from Grace, by the usually reliable Robert Barnard (one of my long-time favourites); Good Night my Darling, by Inger Frimansson; All She Ever Wanted by Patrick Redmond; and my review of Borkmann's Point by Hakan Nesser, newly out in paperback. You can read two other reviews of Borkmann's Point on Euro Crime, one here by Karen Meek, and one here by Karen Chisholm. On re-reading my review now a few weeks after I read the book, I think I was a little harder on it than I might have been. As Karen (M) writes, I found the ending a bit disappointing, but I enjoyed reading the book and laughed aloud at its deadpan humour. I am certainly looking forward to reading his next to be translated in this series, The Return. As usual, you can win books by entering the competitions at Euro Crime (see first link in this post). Karen's site is a great resource for those of us who enjoy reading this type of fiction. Thanks, Karen!
