10 Fabulous TypePad Design Finds

Thought I'd do a little digging around the web to see if I couldn't find some examples of TypePad blogs sporting some great custom design work.  There are so many default TypePad templates that are very easy for you to use on your blog.  Right out of the box, they are functional and look nice.  However, sometimes a blogger will put in that extra effort with Custom CSS or Advanced templates to really create a template for their TypePad blog that is outside the standard norm.  I surfed around and found these - if you have a one, or more, to share that you know of - please do!

Heather Bailey - a bright and vibrant design with a touch of retro fun and lots of girly!

Gentlemen Prefer Blogs - A fun design done around the theme of an old time Private Detective, complete with the mysterious blonde.

Tigerprint - While a main portion of their design is still signature TypePad standard style, they've done a great job with the header and some of the sidebar link buttons, bringing together a really nice look and brand.

Mercedes Benz Dealer News - a clean and professional site designed on Typepad with a sleek feel, kind of like a Mercedes - - sleeeeeeeek!

Barefoot in the Grass - a nicely done blog design on TypePad with a touch of whimsy and rustic.  Looks like they are using a standard TypePad template, but overlayed it on a really nice rustic woodgrain background with a simply too cute to be true header graphic.

Nostalgia Organics - a bright and springy blog design using a standard TypePad template with some custom CSS and custom graphic design.  Cute!

Dollar Short - SixApart's own Mena Trott has a very cute custom design on her TypePad blog - lots of fun and whimsy!

 

Cadbury FairTrade - and who doesn't like chocolate?  This fun design was built on a TypePad blog by Cadbury Milk Chocolate to announce their decision to gain the Fair Trade Certificate by the end of the summer.

Aliblog - these guys have a TypePad blog design that is branded per their main companies website.  Lots of great color and  nicely formatted.

 

ROXY - talk about colorful and fun! Their style incorporates their brand on this business blog.
