From an announcement on 25 November in the Everything TypePad blog:
Starting [this] week, TypePad customers will be able to visit TypePad.com and purchase “the gift of a TypePad” for anyone on their holiday shopping list at a special holiday promotional price. An annual subscription of our TypePad Basic, Plus and Pro services will be reduced to just $39, $69, and $99 respectively, allowing you to save up to 55% off a yearly subscription to be given as a gift to anyone you know.
A great gift idea for friends or colleagues who have been thinking about blogging but weren’t sure about taking the first step.
