Features in Development

One of the main reasons for launching this official TypePad resources weblog was for us to have a place to communicate development news to our users. We believe that open communication is essential for a community to thrive and for TypePad to succeed. From the thousands of support questions we have answered, we know that our users have a lot of valuable ideas and suggestions to contribute and we really intend on listening to their feedback. So, we intend to keep all of you informed about what we're working on and what's going on.

Here's a list of large features currently in development (this is not exhaustive):

Domain mapping (Plus, Pro)
