Since beginning my beta test of TypePad this week, I’m not the only one faced with the question/challenge of maintaining two blogs. As I’ve begun to poke around the blogs of some other TyepPad beta testers, I’ve seen this question handled a number of ways…keep them separate…switch over to TyepPad exclusively…import all MT postings into TyepPad…or, like me, still post primarily in my main blog and occasionally here…why? Because I’m a bit neurotic when it comes to losing data — especially stuff I write. Not that I think six apart or TypePad are suddenly going to go away, but I’m a bit cautious about not having any of my posts on my own server for which I pay…of course I’ll have the option to pay for TypePad at some point following the beta, but what if I decide not to subscribe to TypePad? What happens to this beta blog then? And how long would I have to get all my posts out before they disappear?
