FYI, there seems to be something wrong with the "preview" option on this very feedback page! I tried to preview the post I just wrote, and it seems to have just posted what I had written, without a preview.

I'm really enjoying the new interface. It takes a minute to learn where everything is, of course, but by and large I'm finding it quite streamlined and intuitive. I haven't played around with it that much, but so far, I'm pretty happy with the changes. I just have a couple comments.
First, on the typelists... When you are "in" a list, looking at the items, (this screen: http://raday.blogs.com/extra/typelists-exampepic.jpg) as far as I can tell there is no way to go back to one's list of TypeLists, without going back to the Library pulldown menu. I would think there should be a clear button or tab to take you back there.
Second is more of a wish... Actually, I realize that there may already be a way to do this, but as a not particularly advanced user, I don't know how to do it exactly. But here's my wish: It would be great if there were some customizable format buttons in the compose window. For example, on one of my blogs, I have come up with a style that I like for quote boxes -- with the border, line color, background color, indent, etc., that I prefer. I've copied the appropriate text into a word document, so that every time I do a quote I can just cut and paste it into the compose window, rather than having to type it out every time. Now, I realize with CSS there's probably some easy change I could put into the stylesheet of that blog so that everytime I type "blockquote" I'll get that formatting. The thing is, I'm not advanced enough a user to be confidently fiddling around with the CSS much -- most times when I try I get myself into trouble and end up having to go to Help for help in undoing the mess I've made. Hence my wish -- It would be great if there were some customizable formatting buttons for the un-advanced user like me, so when I'm composing in the editor, I could just highlight the text that I want to apply a particular style to, click the button, and done. Just a thought... :o)
Thanks!
