What happened to junkcharts.typepad.com?
Junk Charts, the blog by Kaiser Fung, author of Numbersense and Numbers Rule Your World, is still alive
If you found this page, you probably tried to find out what happened to my old blog at Junkcharts.Typepad.com.
The short answer: it moved here.
As of the end of September, 2025, the hosting platform Typepad has shut down forever. My blog has moved to Ghost.org, and I now use my own URL: www.junkcharts.com.
On the new site, the data visualization blog and the book blog are merged into a single stream. RSS continues to be supported but has a new feed link.
Use the following handy guide to convert any old Typepad URLs to new ones:
| Previous URL | New URL |
|---|---|
| junkcharts.typepad.com | www.junkcharts.com |
| junkcharts.typepad.com/junk_charts | www.junkcharts.com |
| junkcharts.typepad.com/junk_charts/atom.xml | www.junkcharts.com/rss/ |
| junkcharts.typepad.com/numbersruleyourworld | www.junkcharts.com |
| junkcharts.typepad.com/numbersruleyourworld/atom.xml | www.junkcharts.com/rss/ |
| junkcharts.typepad.com/junk_charts/YYYY/MM/post-name.html | www.junkcharts.com/post-name/ |
| junkcharts.typepad.com/numbersruleyourworld/YYYY/MM/post-name.html | www.junkcharts.com/post-name/ |
| junkcharts.typepad.com/junk_charts/keyword | www.junkcharts.com/tag/keyword/ |
| junkcharts.typepad.com/numbersruleyourworld/keyword | www.junkcharts.com/tag/keyword/ |
P.S. The migration of old blog posts is ongoing. If a particular post hasn't been moved, the new URL will break. But as soon as I duplicate that post on Ghost, it should work.
If there are old posts that you'd like to get re-posted here sooner, please contact me.
