I like the Typepad blogging platform and have used it since converting from Blogger back in 2003. However, it has lagged woefully behind Wordpress in the aesthetics department. Until now. There's a few new pretty-darn-good-looking typepad themes available as the result of a recent theme making contest. The theme I am using today is called HP Wicked Fun. I will probably leave it up for a few days before hacking into it and making it mine. I think it was made by Gwen Stefani.
update: hacked already. japanese theme continued as a hat tip to gwen.
How do you get access to these themes. Do you have to be at a certain subscription level?

mike. if you have any account at all with typepad, look under "all themes".
if you want to hack in and change it, you need the pro account which is what i have.

ok - hacked already. i put my image in a new banner but left the japanese theme intact.
actually, my mother painted that. its called "Andrew gardening" and its an inside joke about the way in which i garden.
i'm not laughing!

It's funny, I keep seeing people switching back and forth between blogger and Typepad. How's it working out for you?
