The lovely and talented Suzanne Falter-Barns quoted me yesterday in her Get Known Now Blog. She had asked me my opinion on blog-site hybrids in general and on Square Space in particular, and I gave it to her:
I do like what I've seen of SquareSpace. I want to play with it a bit more before I wholeheartedly endorse it, but it looks great. I'm also a big fan of Expression Engine, which is similar. I've been stretching the limits of TypePad with some other projects lately, so I'm getting a better idea of what I can and can't do with it.
I try to triage what people want before I make a recommendation, whether it is for a whole site or just a blog, plus the user's willingness/ability to learn and make additions.
I guess she was intrigued enough by what I had to say, she had to try it out herself. Good stuff!

And on the topic of Suzanne and experts and the like, just a reminder that the deadline for this year's Mega Marketing Makeover is almost upon us...this Saturday, June 24 at Noon Eastern.
Lots of amazing people (and me) are contributing over $12,000 worth of prizes for a complete makeover of the the lamest online presence nominated. If your own site doesn't suck, surely you know someone else whose site does.
