He wrote: I've long mentioned little things on this site that I would love to see as features on TypePad […] Inspired by John Unger's site, I thought I would collect my list in one place and see if it makes sense; to see if it's merely a wishlist or truly a list of features I think would make TypePad better for all its users.... It's better than just taking a poll because it would allow people to make suggestions in their own words and to include items not found on the Agenda Page (TypePad Hacks' master list of feature requests).... Share Your Wishlist Project: I'd like to ask everyone to post an entry on your own blog listing the ten features/changes that you would most like to see.... I've created a feed to display links to all the wishlist pages in the sidebar, so this will make it easy for others to find and read your list.... You can also tag your page by pasting the following link at the bottom of the post: typepadwishlist To view posts others have contributed to the Wishlist Project, visit http://del.icio.us/tag/typepadwishlist.
