Coincidentally, and fortunately, I was already in the process of migrating a blog with 10 year’s worth of content from TypePad. It’s not enough.

TypePad’s export process is awful: the output is a poorly formatted .txt file which is hard to parse reliably. The export process itself fails at least half the time. There’s no export process for images or style files. Automated crawl processes fail.

I LOL’ed at this part of the post:

The “here” link 404s.

The link has a typo. It should point to: https://help.typepad.com/shutdown-faq.html
Whats the URL? ArchiveTeam is planning on saving all the blogs to archive.org.
That's unfortunate. Good luck.
