Six Apart will fix your blog for $200, help you advertise
Six Apart, the company behind the Moveable Type and TypePad blogging platforms is moving into the services and advertising businesses. Last week the company purchased Apperceptive, a company with experience developing attractive blogs and web sites. Now anyone can sign up for assistance with their own blog at the Six Apart services page. The company is offering a variety of packages covering such things as pre-launch blog design, and tune-ups for existing sites.

It'll be interesting to see if Six Apart can open up the process to smaller web sites.
