I don't want to do it myself, but in a heartbeat, I would have my Blogger Former Naval Person blog to Typepad (as an alternative Former Naval Person blog). I would need a reasonably priced and reliable service to do the work. I am slow to anger, as this whole business started as far back as July 2007, when Blogger instituted robots.txt files that the bloggers could not access.
