These are some catchy banners. I would like to know when you will introduce some themes that include horizontal navigation which you can find on many blogs over at WordPress

New Themes: Sports & Leisure
With the 2008 Olympic Games fast approaching, many of us have sports on the brain. Whether you're gearing up for a run, root-root-rooting for the home team, or packing your bags for a summer get-away, we've added new athletic and travel themes to help you bring home the gold. (L to R, top to ...
You say that Plus users have access to this, but the option does not appear. Was this a mistake?

Changing Your Page Banner with Custom CSS
The last few weeks we’ve been focusing on great design in TypePad. Today our new TypePad team member Andy Wibbels explains a bit about Custom CSS. Andy’s posts won’t make you a Custom CSS expert, but hopefully they’ll give you some helpful insight or tips. Here is the first post in his two-part ...
I always look forward to the addition of new themes. One question, however: "Why must the post field be so narrow? Shouldn't there be an option to expand that field for those of us who want to maximize horizontal space? Thanks

New Themes: Courtesy of 6A's Team in Tokyo
You may already know that TypePad's parent company, Six Apart, has offices in Paris, France, and Tokyo, Japan. We love to share knowledge, ideas and resources amongst our international teams, so when our design team here in San Francisco got a glimpse of some of the great themes created by ou...
I want to second Emily's comment. Please give us the opportunity to build on each design - even if this just involves being able to add a custom header. Also, when can we expect horizontal navigation? Seems to me that this is one of those areas that WordPress wins at hands down.

I am pleased to see the attention to new templates which is one of the reasons I recently decided to play around with WordPress. I would love to have horizontal navigation and can't tell from any of the images as to whether they are included in this latest round. Please allow for wider content fields. I am using the fluid option right now, but the jump to 500 is much too drastic. Give us wider fields as an option. As for the themes I think these have rather juvenile graphics and colors. I much prefer something more sophisticated.

Bringing Some New Themes to TypePad
Our design team has been busy making plans to add more themes to TypePad. One project they'll be working on in the coming months is to bring over some of the professionally-designed themes from our sister service Vox for you to use on your TypePad blog. There are many styles to choose from, so ...
I also would like to see wider templates. What I would like to see more than anything else, however, are templates with horizontal navigation which would make it possible to clean up the sidebars a bit.

Follow Up to "A Bright New TypePad"
Hello everyone, It's been fantastic hearing from you in the comments to my last post and in the emails directly to me — I've heard from hundreds of you in the past 24 hours. I'm thrilled at the level of passion and engagement from those of you who have written in so far. Your thoughts and conce...
I'm sure this is not the place to ask, but I was wondering if there are any plans to create new templates with horizontal navigation. I really enjoy typepad, but I have to admit to playing around with Wordpress the other day as I was looking for that feature in particular. They offer a way to place pages under the banner. The option would give me an opportunity to clean up some of my columns. Just a thought.
