• I like the new templates…there much more imngiaative than the initial release of templates. I'm also glad to see that you're moving away from designing one template, changing the colours slightly, sticking them all in different categories and then saying you've got 5 new templates.However, I do like the idea of being able to select a colour scheme for a particular template and I think you should bring back the old system whereby the user can select a template and then choose a desired colour scheme. Now that you've got a reasonable selection of "unique" templates I think it's time you culled the repetitious templates so that the user isn't ploughing through the same designs (albeit with colour variation and a different main graphic). Please bring back the old system that enables template colour selection.
  

• I would like to see newsletter tepmlates that did not have so many graphics embedded in the header that could be more generic and easily used for non-profits and charities. There's one newsletter template that i like. I call it "Guy with big white shirt". That template would be great — if there was an easy way to get rid of the guy with the big white shirt. I'm a new user, so I have a ways to go to figure out how to do this. I would think it would be simple to take that 2 column layout and take out the embedded graphics and just use some relatively generic color schemes – light blue, light yellow, green, etc.
