Chapter 2. The Benefits of TypePad > Choosing the Right TypePad Blogging Packag...
2.3. Choosing the Right TypePad Blogging Package
TypePad offers its users four blogging packages, with widely varied features and pricing. Whether you think of blogging as a lone endeavor with the individual pounding out posts from a solitary kitchen table or as a necessary business tool with posts from multiple authors, TypePad has a package that addresses your needs. Depending on your specific blogging needs, you can choose which pricing package offers you the features you want. Table 2-1 is a quick reference of pricing and features (a more thorough listing is at typepad.com/pricing). We explain these features further in the rest of this section.
