TypePad (http://www.typepad.com/) is the hosted version of the Moveable Type (http://www.movabletype.org/) CMS.
Ted, Art is right in saying that converting to html with mif2go is an option but I guess it depends on how much formatting has been done in Frame and how much of that formatting you want to keep. I think you'll also need to switch off the default html editor in the TyePad dashboard (or the admin area where you write posts - sorry, it's been a long while since I've used TypePad!) I'm not clear from your question whether you want to convert the whole book and output it to a multitude of posts or whether you want to "cherry pick" isolated paragraphs as posts. If it's the latter, it could be simpler to copy chunks of text as you need them into a text editor (e.g. Notepad on Windows or one of the many excellent free editors out there) and format the html as you go. More information please! ceri On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 12:25 PM, Art Campbell <art.campbell at gmail.com>wrote: > Ted, > > You should be able to simply copy-and-paste anything from a Frame file > directly into any other program.
