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. Each package will set you back $200, and you'll need to be using TypePad to take advantage of the services, but there's also a $200 migration package if you want to switch platforms.
Six Apart is also launching an advertising network that will group similar web sites in order to attract big name advertisers. Other blog advertising networks like Federated Media do the same thing, but Federated Media typically only accepts big name blogs. It'll be interesting to see if Six Apart can open up the process to smaller web sites.
