Hey there, breaking character here. This is the author of the blog. I’m going to move this website from Typepad to self-installed Wordpress in the next day or two. For you, the benefits will be a better looking Cranky Product Manager website and hopefully some extra functionality down the road. And the URLs for the blog posts won’t be insanely long anymore.
I’m not an expert at this, so it might be a little bumpy. I expect the RSS feeds and the website will not work perfectly for a few days. I ask for your patience in the meantime.
If you linked to the CPM blog, links to the top-level page (www.crankypm.com) should still work as I’m keeping the same domain (crankypm.com). For links directly to posts, I’m going to try to setup redirects to the new location for each pages, but you might need to relink.
I’m hoping the transition will be completed on Saturday or Sunday.
If Sunday rolls around and you don’t have a new post in your RSS feed, I ask that you unsubscribe and resubscribe. In theory, Feedburner should take care of this for me, but I understand it can be flakey sometimes. Sorry about any inconvenience this causes you.
Also, feel free to write me at crankypm AT crankypm DOT com if there is still something screwy with the website or the feeds on Sunday 9/21 or later.

Hey CPM, I just did the very same thing (well, ok it was a Blogger to WordPress move). Now I moved 5r blogs at the same time so the possibility of disaster was even greater; however, after a bit it all seems to have worked out (FeedBurner too!). If you have any interest, I’ve got a “punchlist” of things that ‘ya gotta do when moving a blog over to WordPress along with a very nice list of WordPress plugins that a new WordPress blogger should have. If you (or anyone else) is interested then drop me an email or reply to this comment and I can send it or post it here.
Good luck with the move and remember to lift with the knees and not the back…
