TypePad Themes & Design Assistant -- Awesome plus

Following up from our Movable Type Design Assistant announcement, we have brought the same to TypePad. If this was awesome for MT, it's awesome *plus* for TypePad. Here some excerpts from the Six Apart post:

As we have been saying for some time, we take design incredibly seriously at Six Apart. In that post, we were talking about empowering bloggers to have complete control over their blog designs. Today we take that next step in educating bloggers about design by combining the most powerful set of design tools available with the largest set of blog themes on any hosted blogging platform and making them all available as a free upgrade to all of our TypePad members. And you don't even have to be a TypePad member to get a look at some of the amazing new design capabilities.

The new themes on the TypePad service follow up on a commitment made by all of us at Six Apart from our CEO down, to making 2008 TypePad's best year ever. That commitment was met with an immediate response from hundreds of you in the community, and you echoed back a clear desire for more and better designs for your TypePad blog.
