Typepad Announces New Templates

My favorite blogging tool, Typepad, has announced that they've recently made fifteen gorgeous new templates available.   Now it's even easier (and it was easy before!) to find a template that represents exactly what you want to say with your blog.

I especially like the fact that two weeks ago Typepad ran a survey regarding templates among all of their customers.  They compiled the results and then used the customer responses to develop and publish all the new template choices.  Great customer service is one of the reasons I don't mind buying Typepad's low monthly fee for my blogs.  They answer my questions and listen to my suggestions - gotta love that.
