Live With WordPress, Now. Bye Bye, TypePad
Well, there will be some odds & ends to fix and adjust, but it looks like everything went off without a hitch. I have wanted to do this for a long time, but the task would have been daunting with all the images to handle, links, and so on. But Alec and Martin at foliovision made it completely painless.
For the many of you who asked, there is now an all comment RSS feed. Now that I’m on a platform that gives me the utmost in flexibility and freedom, your suggestions are very welcome.
Just drop ’em in comments if you have any.

Richard, welcome to the WORDPRESS community! Its a great blogging platform, with lots of great plugins and templates, you’ll enjoy it a lot! Thanks for maintaining such a great blog! Regards.
I like the wider column, also the drop down menus on the right. It looks great. Dad
Nicely done. Except it wouldn’t let me just say those two words, it wanted a longer comment. So here you go. 😉
Works better on iPhone .
Good deal! Never used TypePad, but it’s pretty hard to beat WP.
The new version of the RSS feed no longer contains the entire post… only the first paragraph or so. It requires that you head to the website to read the whole thing…
Could you get the RSS feed fixed up to include whole posts again? I and some of my family/friends have been following you for some time, but we tend to use RSS news readers to pull all our blogs to one convenient place.
Ah– looks like the old RSS feed URL is returning shortened summary posts… but the new URL is working fine. I’ll just switch my news subscription over. Took me a bit to find the right link (the feedburner link is handy, but the actual RSS/Atom link is better): https://freetheanimal.com/feed
Lowell:
I believe I fixed the feedburner issue. Let me know if you’re still not getting full entries.
Lowell:
Hadn’t noticed that full-entry issue with feedburner, but will get it fixed.
Thanks.
Richard, congrats on the migration. I like the simplicity of your theme. So much so, that I feel like changing mine:)
If you have a question, drop me a line.

I like the font its easy to read, I still am not quite used to your photo and links being on the right hand side, just habit I suppose. But like the spacing and layout so far.
Site looks great! I also like the simple design and white space. For a site as big as yours, switching over must have been an arduous task to say the least. Lucky for me, my husband is a wordpress designer.
Site looks great. Thanks for all the useful info!
