Andy and I continue developing the Minimalist Sandbox in to something completely different: a powerful, game-changing theme. The addition of enhanced semantic class-generating functions means the way you write and read markup will change.
After the release of the Minimalist Sandbox, an interesting idea arises: replacing the conventional .narrowcolumn and .widecolumn classes with semantic ones. How? Adding dynamic functions to the theme files that add classes specific to the page being viewed.
The Minimalist Sandbox theme for WordPress is released. The purpose of this theme is not yet clear. Developers should find this theme quite fun to play with. And if you’re looking for a way to develop CSS-based layouts, the Minimalist Sandbox might be helpful.
Another WordPress theme competition is announced. The last two flopped for various reasons. Running a theme competition is tough, but after what Thomas pulled off with the theme viewer, I think he’s up for it.
