Then embed that in a plugin. I don't use typepad myself, but I might whip up something for WordPress.

I just wanted a pie chart based on three values (7655,6184,6056) but apparently I need to run a Javascript program to encode them or figure out some scaling equation. There must be a simpler way - I suppose the answer is to wait until someone creates a Google Chart widget for typepad :) The API may be simple to a Java programmer but as a blogger using typepad who just wants to stick a chart in a typelist widget (by pasting in the image tag code) the data encoding looks far from simple - as you rightly say.
