Due diligence

Did the Six Apart people think about the fact that TypePad will inevitably be abbreviated as TP, and that TP already has a vernacular association in English?

Though I guess no one yet has said, "MT means empty" or "RU completely satisfied?" so it's probably no big worry.

You Won't See This: Yes, the problem is I've maxed out my server space at Salon's host, so I suppose this means moving over to my FTP server again. Even then, though I'll need to replace the home page at blogs.salon.com/0001111/ with some sort of link or redirect to the new address, or it will... (Salon Bloggers)
We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties: It is ironic that having just paid for Radio I am now running into serious difficulties. The main problems are: My last few posts won't publish My site design won't update when applied to the home page or to categories Attempts to reach http://blogs.salon.com/0001111/2002/08/20.html lead to an error message Unfortunately this...
