I've not really done much yet - but between <a href="http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/">Sandbox</a> and the new <a href="http://automattic.com/code/widgets/">WordPress Widgets</a>, all my customizations for this blog have been done in CSS and drag-n-drop in the widget management screen. <a href="http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/">Sandbox</a> has an enormously rich set of classes dropped into every major element of the page, even down to date/time information on posts and category-based classes. I could even drop in some seasonal themes to styles posts for holidays and whatnot. Pumpkins for October, and presents for December!</p> <p>I <em>did</em> need to add one line of PHP to a <a href="http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/">Sandbox</a> template, and that was a CSS include to my own tack-on CSS full of tweaks to the Spartan skin. If anything, that's my only feature request so far: Allow skin selection, and then allow the user to specify an additional stylesheet to further tailor that skin. The less I need to edit in files installed from third parties, the less I need to maintain when versions get updated.</p> <p>I'm also running into a few minor CSS oddities when I view my tweaks in MSIE on Windows. This annoys me, but I only half care to fix them.</p> <div id="comments" class="comments archived-comments"> <h3>Archived Comments</h3> <ul class="comments"> <li class="comment" id="comment-221089256"> <div class="meta"> <div class="author"> <a class="avatar image" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.slackorama.com/blog"><img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=15b474c86cd73c2d12c1d77af11c1d8a&amp;size=32&amp;default=http://mediacdn.disqus.com/1320279820/images/noavatar32.png"/></a> <a class="avatar name" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.slackorama.com/blog">Seth</a> </div> <a href="#comment-221089256" class="permalink"><time datetime="2006-08-21T18:17:39">2006-08-21T18:17:39</time></a> </div> <div class="content"><p>Hey, Looks like your markup isn't getting processed in your feed.
