   Congratulations.

   May I just point out that it’s a release candidate, not a release client?

   cool time to get my hands dirty. I will try updating SandPress. By the way a link to the changelog would be helpful.

   @Jeremy: Indeed. I suppose a release client is a slightly different beast.
   @Arpit: The SVN is the changelog. It’s at Sandbox @ Google Code.

   Sandbox is brilliant.

   I can’t wait to use it ‘in anger’ as opposed to tinkering here locally. So cool it’s going to be rolled into WP2.4. Congratulation.

   If you’re on Mac, I use CSSEdit. The product and guy behind it are excellent. If on Win then TopStyle is brilliant. Good-CSS-luck

   Hello,

   Two questions (requests) :

   1) As Sandbox is to be included in WP distribution, It would be a good thing to have a tutorial about “how to port my current design to sandbox”. As a complete CSS newbie I’m totally unable to do that (and I’m probably not alone)

   2) I failed to find the .po file required to translate the text items (and Sandbox seems pretty well getexted)

    Check the Sandbox Forums for help making theme templates, designs, etc, with the Sandbox.

    We’re looking to include the po/mo files with the actual 1.0 release, so check back in the next week.

    I seem to have encountered a bug that exists between the new version of Sandbox (Sandbox 1.0 RC 1) and the Wordpress 2.3.

    When I attempt to create additional page templates such as page_about.php and page_contact.php (and provide the correct Template name for each php doc) they show up within the ‘Page Template’ option on the right hand side but are not implemented. When I select a new template from the menu and click ‘Save and Continue Editing’ the Page Template reverts back to ‘Default Template’. I have tried this for a number of pages and a number of templates and none have been successful.

    I have tried re-uploading a clean version of Sandbox and the exact same problem occurs.

    If someone knows a solution to this problem, it would greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Edward

    Now that WordPress 2.3 has been released, will an update of Sandbox be released to cope with native tags? Or does someone have a patch?

    I could use it.

   […] Last night I upgraded Wordpress (the blogging software used here) to the new 2.3 beta (well, actually the SVN archive a few hours before that release), so if things look wonky just whistle, gaze upwards, and stroll in a different direction. Along with that, I upgraded to the Sandbox 1.0 release candidate so that everything would run properly (and you could see the lovely new tags that are part of WP 2.3). As before, I run a tweaked version of Will Wilkins’ CSS skin for Sandbox called “Moo-Point.” It’s pretty sleek already, but I’ve pared a couple of things off it and opened up some room. Even though I’m awful at web design, the layout/presentation-centric stance of Sandbox made it easy to take out what I wanted without worrying about losing it completely. […]

2. WordPress 2.3 is getting closer : Losing it[1] on 11 Sep 2007 at 2:44 am

   […] I’ve been fiddling with the beta releases of WordPress 2.3, and so far things are working pretty well. Things will get more interesting when some plugins are updated, or new ones created, to take full advantage of the new tagging features, but right now it’s looking usable, and doesn’t seem to be breaking anything I need to be able to do. I’m taking the opportunity of having a fresh test site to give the look of Losing it[1],/strong> a bit of an overhaul. It won’t actually look much different, but the theme will be based on Sandbox rather than a hacked together mix of code form the Classic and Default themes, which is a bit of a mess. Once I’ve done all that, it should be a lot easier to modify it in future. […]

3. New look coming soon! : Losing it[1] on 16 Sep 2007 at 11:28 am

   […] Well, not all that new, really. But what I have just finished working on is a new WordPress theme for Losing it[1]. As I mentioned a few days ago, the new version is based on the extreme cleverness known as Sandbox, or to be more precise on the release candidate of Sandbox 1.0. It was an interesting challenge, working out what I’d done in the past and making this fit into a more formally designed theme. While I was at it, I fixed a few things that were slightly annoying - in a few places, I had hard-coded links to images used in the theme (such as the little mood icons, and all those buttons on the sidebar). These are all defined with proper WordPress functions now, which means that if I want to use the theme on another site, I’ll have less tweaking to do. […]

4. designNinja » Sandbox RC1 is out on 17 Sep 2007 at 4:10 am

   […] And while designNinja was taking form, the world was changing. I am happy to see that Sandbox RC1 is out, which may mean I’ll have to rework some part of this layout, if I want all new functionalities that it has to offer. Will have to check the change log. […]
