Typo related documentation is moving on Typo main site

Welcome to Typo

Typo is a lean engine that makes blogging easy. After you install Typo, a web-based admin interface handles configuration and management. You can then post to your blog using a desktop client like MarsEdit or online, using the admin section of your blog. You can read more about this in the DesktopClients? section.

Why the name 'Typo'?

The first revision of Typo was written to power too biased, Tobias Luetke's weblog, while he was waiting for a client at Starbucks. He wrote down the wrong time for the appointment so naming it Typo seemed quite fitting.
