Finally got my template to look halfway decent. I know, this looks almost like my Blogger template, but let me say this: I built this template from scratch, using CSS commands. Of course, a Typepad troubleshooting rep helped some, but I did most of the hard labor. Improving as I go along.
Had a problem importing all my posts from Blogger. Blogger refuses to display all posts, so I had to play with jump breaks. That's why my old blog now looks weird. And since I had to strip all formatting before transferring, I now have to repair the paragraphing of all 112 posts. Bummer.
Oh. The links no longer work, even though they're displayed in blue. So, don't bother clicking on anything.
I hope moving to a paid blog host wasn't a bad decision.
