Very funny. Blogs are such great fun if only for the commenting, eh? Well. Let's see. The Sandbox might not solve every themer's problem, but it will (and I think this is great) give newer themers a great place to get their feet wet, and, at least, have excellent markup to learn from. Nay to the naysayers! Har, har, har. Very funny. Blogs are such great fun if only for the commenting, eh?

Nay to the naysayers!

I doubt it’ll satiate those complaining of the “slow-down.�

(And doing a good job of it, too. Even I'm excited.) And as far as taking liberties with language are concerned, it's likely I'll be eating that "nextbigthing." And after reading <a href="http://andy.wordpress.com/2006/07/20/generated-semantic-classes-2/#comment-2674" rel="nofollow">Chris's comment</a> on Andy's post, I've implmented the <a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/hatom" rel="nofollow">hAtom schema</a>. It'll really be fun to make themes for, to skin, the Sandbox. But that's only part of the Sandbox's purpose. I learned heaps from this project, and maybe others can as well. That's all.
