My name is Philippe Boucher and you can find more personal info on my Typepad hosted blog. If you go there, you'll see I have created and managed about 200 blogs hosted on Typepad so I certainly cannot expect to "export" and save all of this content, created since the beginning of typepad, 22 years ago. Not all the content is worth archiving but even if I focus on the main 20 blogs, it's still a lot and the "exporting" process does not look very effective, at least for a beginner like me.
You can have an idea of my blog production by scrolling down my CV where I list the ones I care for the most.
Have a look at the wordpress version of my personal blog compared to the present one on typepad. I guess/hope I can do better but for now it's problematic (understatement). So I am upset and angry at the people, including the few hedge funds billionaires who made the shut down decision and cowardly remained anonymous and as of now have not answered my requests for information.
I hope they can still understand it is in their own best interest in terms of their image and reputation to revisit this decision, cancel it and offer a fair deal to their customers.
A deal that would help them transition or provide a safe archiving. They also could organize a celebration of the many excellent blogs that were hosted and start engaging with Typepad users to work with them instead of evicting them without any consideration.
