Moving along: Sandbox v0.6.1

The Sandbox was the first theme to be initially launched on WordPress.com. Now, WordPress.org users get a first stab at Sandbox version 0.6.1. Don’t worry, WordPress.com users, because you’re not forgotten. I just think Andy’s really busy.

Sandbox goes live, gets minimal

The Sandbox goes live on WordPress.com. It’s million-odd users can see the Sandbox in action. Plus, this provides all users a chance to see its dynamic class-generating functions in action. It’s all in the source.

Playing in the Sandbox

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.

Dynamic semantic classes

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.
