Typepad to Shut Down on September 30

Ending an act

This blog is named Life on the Wicked Stage: Act 3. I may be a theatre geek, but I’m not a fan of the three-act structure. The name came about because there were first and second acts preceding it. The first act was on Windows Live Spaces (long since dead and gone) back in the day before I ever thought of this as something I’d enjoy doing. Then there was a Life on the Wicked Stage: Act 2 on Typepad. 

Well all plays, regardless of act structure have an ending. The curtain is coming down on that second act in the same way it did on the first one. Typepad is shutting down. Per the announcement on the Everything Typepad blog, the service will shut down on September 30th, 2025.

Typepad users have until September 30 to export their data. After that, all access will be terminated.

Everything in the corporeal world reverts back to dust. So do all the bits in the digital one.
