Seems that Scratch-a-thon was useful for the output at SixApart. I think the templates available at blogging platforms, and integration into other services (eg flickr where i cant hyperlink into blogspot.. and more integration - hint - would also be great) is really important. People coming online will want their own unique design, pictures, background, logos, commerce services such as select your own ads, products to sell.. right into areas such as customised merchandising @ cafepress.com/zazzzle.com. The more blogging templates the better : "Gourmet" is a new one at SixApart :

"We’re constantly making improvements to TypePad, and with the new weblog themes we’re making it possible for people to have a good looking weblog without having to be a professional designer. Because TypePad customers are truly unique and have very diverse interests, I designed thirteen new general purpose as well as “special interest” themes including travel, gourmet, baby, wedding, knitting, and sewing. In the future, we’ll have lots of new TypePad themes that we hope appeal to a wide range of TypePad customers."
