The 3 Cloumn Kubrick Theme is great, but how do make it wider… the posting area and the sidebars? I can’t seem to figure it out.

Thanks for the code. It looks like WP killed a few line breaks – the code for the .htaccess file should be:

RewriteEngine onRewriteBase /Redirect /typepad_folder http://yourdomain.com

This redirects all image permalinks and all that, so even if you have internal links, they won’t break. Very nice.

And yes, WP does rock, and the import is incredibly easy now. I’ve even had luck importing from wordpress.com (posts as well as comments) via RSS. Absolutely great software.

Three weeks looking for a solution… and it was waiting for me here…

¡My permalinks are very grateful with you!

Thanks so much for this! Best write up on the web. Worked perfectly with the exception of the pesky little photos I had with each post (Typepad formatting problem). Any suggestions for a good WP image plug-in very much appreciated.

[...] I saw Meister on Sunday (and he’s actually deleted his blog: he wasn’t exiled), and he asked if there would be a post explaining why I’d left TypePad and what was all involved. I thought “am I really that predictable?”, but in truth, I’d like to write that up. Sure, other sites have done it so much more completely, but I think my voice might encourage someone out there to say “if that loser can do it, so can I!” [...]

[...] Edit: It seems that there may be a way to export posts in Typepad. However, I can’t try it because my account is now closed. [...]

Thanks, Phil! Yeah, WP2.0 is pretty sweet. Seems like a lot of folks have gripes about it, but it definitely serves my needs.
