Sharing Some Knowledge
One of the great things about blogging is integrating other cool services into your blog, whether in the main body or sidebar modules. In fact, we happen to know this is an area of great interest to bloggers. That's because we're constantly listening to and posting answers to your questions in our TypePad Knowledge Base, a living, breathing resource that reflects and reacts to what you want to know. That said, here are some articles that you've told us you want to read:
- How do I use del.icio.us with TypePad?
- How to post a video clip to my weblog?
- How can I use Technorati with my blog?
- How do I add a favicon to my weblog?
Read up. Rate the usefulness of our explanations. Ask more questions. And stay tuned for more developments in regards to integrating TypePad and cool third-party sites and services. We are always looking to deliver what bloggers want.

Uploading Images and Files to your Weblog
A new feature that was added in the recent update was the easier-to-use Upload Image and Upload File buttons on the Compose a New Post page.
These buttons replace the Upload File link and also give you the choice of wrapping text so it flows around an image. You can use the default options for this, or set your own configuration.

Domain Mapping
Domain mapping is the process of pointing a registered domain name, such as www.example.com, to your TypePad weblog or photo album and it's available now. Make sure your weblog's web address is as personal as your words.
This is more than domain forwarding, because your permalinks and URL will contain the address of your domain instead of your TypePad subdomain.

Customizing your Weblog Post Footer
You may have noticed that after most weblogs there is usually a single line of text and links that identifies data about the post. In TypePad, we call that the post footer. The post footer contains information including author name, post date, category, permalink (the permanent link to your post that readers can link to), and links to the post comments and TrackBacks.
Using a basic template set you can configure the post footer to show different information and formatting.
