I would love to see a better search of the existing templates on lines similar to what Images.google.com and flickr provides us. It would require extensive use of tags and some kinks at the UI end to bring this to prominence thereby re-enforcing users to tag.

not an uncommon request and we agree that this needs to improve. you are right, tagging is the way to go. another compliment is to build in content/template categorization. look for both of these to appear in an upcoming release. thanks for the feedback.
