So I was reading feeds and I couldn’t help notice that TypePad is offline. It happens. If you need someplace to get those bloggy thoughts out of your head, try my online writing app Writer. You can write to your heart’s content in a distraction-free environment, it saves all of your work for you between visits automagically, and it can send anything you write directly to your blog as a draft post (uh, when it’s back online).

If you ever need to login (you probably won’t unless you use Writer on more than one computer) you’ll get the hidden asterisk-style display. Registration is optional—your docs will be saved anyway.

Still, it is rather surprising - I’ve never actually seen most of my passwords… I’m glad you have the registration option, I’m using anywhere from 2 to 7 different computers a day lately and of course I never remember which one I was at when I did something…
