TypeRoom Lite: The Big Update
May 20th, 2008, Reilly SweetlandToday, we are pushing our most major update yet to the TypeRoom Lite Content Management System.
Following the open beta, we received some great feedback. The bug reports were numerous and varied (as can be expected given the fact that we are dealing with such a huge variation as to how existing sites are programmed) and the suggestions and ideas we received were quite insightful. So thanks everybody for your input!
This update consists of a several core changes to the system that were selected because they would make the biggest impact on the most critical types of bug reports we received.
While there are many aspects of the system that we are still planning to refine, our primary goal right now something we feel undercuts all others: enable TypeRoom to integrate with the largest variety of websites online possible. Once we have accomplished our goal here, we will be moving on to the fun stuff…features, UI enhancements, TypeRoom Professional and beyond.
We are going to be doing a series of posts on a some these updates over the next few days, so stay tuned for that.
In the meantime, take a look at the system and let us know what you think! (Comments are welcome below).

I’m really looking forward to trying these new features.
I expect to get more small site projects with the full release of typeroom.
You guys are doing a great job.

Only just had a quick dable with this system so I might be asking questions that have already been answered elsewhere so please bear with me.
Before I go on I would like to commend you on a very useful and simple to use system. Especially considering that it’s free.
Now my first question. Once the pro version is launched will the lite edition always remain free? Or are you planing the charge for both?
Have you already decided on charges?
Will you be offering a whitelabel version for developers?
Although I have only briefly tested the system I did notice that I was unable to modify the colour of some text on my site, now this could be due to the fact that the text colour is controlled by CSS. Is there or will there be, any way to modify the CSS code for pages to modify colours, fonts etc?

@MikeB: First off, thanks for the kind words! Now, to answer your questions…
TypeRoom Lite will have a free version as well as a paid version, which is currently planned to be $12/mo. We are still working out the pricing for the Pro version.
As for the white-label version, are you referring to Lite or Pro? This is definitely something we’ve thought about.

Any word on when PRO will be available?
