If you use or provide Sandbox skins (that is, Sandbox-based theme template), please read on. The latest revision to the Sandbox has seem some significant changes to the markup that will affect designs based on the Sandbox.
A new version of the Sandbox is cooking. I’m hoping for feedback on the changes to the markup. Features I’m also hoping to see tested are the improved hAtom and hCard support.
I standardize some special classes across my themes. Classes used for aligning images (or other elements) or styling text (think all caps). And then there are the classes to indicate XFN relationships. Maybe we can make our lives better.
A new function, language_attributes(), is introduced in the upcoming release of WordPress. And a nice guy like me just wants to update his themes so they will work for everyone. Not always possible, but let’s consider ways to keep things forward- and backward-compatible.
We begin a dialogue about the development of the Sandbox theme, which has become quite a useful resource for theme developers. What about Sandbox skins? The #globalnav option? How can we improve semantics and simplify the theme? This isn’t about squashing bugs. This is about making something good even better.
