New Themes: Keep It Basic or Get Political
August 13, 2008
Our design team just added over 40 new theme choices. Show your patriotism with stars and stripes, or you can get downright political by choosing the Democrat or Republican themes. There are even two green cityscapes that are rather eco-friendly - blogging does save trees, after all.
For the minimalists, we added Basic themes in over 20 color choices. Those of you with Pro, Premium and Business Class accounts can choose one of these Basic themes and add your own banner to it with our Custom CSS feature. Check out TypePad team member Andy Wibbels' how-to posts about using Custom CSS to change your blog's banner and background.
(L to R, top to bottom): Democrat, Civic, Republican, Stars & Stripes, Star Burst, Starlight, Mountainscape, Green City, Basic
Hi Girls & Guys from Typepad,
I just love your Service!
Just 3 ideas to optimize it even more:
1 - What do you think about giving us a field to tick at the Comments Section so our Commentators may choose to be informed if some other one leaves a comment.
You might know this from many other blogging services!
2 - Instead of giving us one new theme after the other, it would be great to get a Print-per-Post-option so our readers may print the posts they like.
You might know this from many other blogging services!
3 - Offer us the possibility do decide by ourselves where we would like to locate a print and share and etc. option - namely at the head or foot of every post.
That would be fantastic!
What do you think?
Yours,
ralf, mediaclinique.com

Hi Ralf, thanks for your suggestions! Currently you can set an option to let your commenters follow a conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for individual posts, but we have plans to expand commenting options soon. We're also looking in to offering printing options for your blog as well. We'll post to this blog with updates as we have them!

I would love to see the four seasons added. A fall theme, winter theme, spring theme and summer theme. Would be awesome as I like to change my theme each season.

Hey Jacob -- Thanks for your comment! We're working on bringing a few more seasonal themes to TypePad. The fall themes should be up in the coming weeks, we'll post here when we add them.
