Introducing Clean, A New Theme From TypePad

via everything.typepad.com

I'm really proud of the TypePad Community team today. One of the biggest advantages of TypePad is that you can really get in there and customize your blog's look and feel with custom CSS. You can truly make it your own.

Today we released a brand new theme called Clean, and it comes with its very own CSS Style Guide so *anyone* can follow along and make their blog look exactly how they want without a lick of CSS knowledge. The team totally rethought how themes work on TypePad and made the product better. It's so easy even I can use it... expect big things here after the Xmas break :D

Kudos to the Community team and happy holidays to all!

happy (non) crappy holidays

 

Since our families are a mishmosh, our winter holidays are custom-made. It is a jumble of food, festivities and fun. We like it this way. I can have my latkes and Rudolph too. Anyway, I'm unplugging for the next few days so I can drink it all in. And by that I mean lots of alcohol.

Can Wine

FIRST, winemakers poured their vintages into bottles and corked them. Then they lost the corks and added screw tops. Then they lost the bottles and sold wine in boxes, next to beer and pretzels at supermarkets. And now, winemakers seeking some pop are canning wine.
