Some Tech Updates
#1) Updated blog files the day before yesterday to the latest Wordpress Version 2.2.2
#2) Went “Theme Huntin’” yesterday for a powerful design that had more structural pages than the tweaked “classic” I was using before. I also wanted one that I could trust “as-is” and not have to tweak in anyway (unless you count a few widget insertions.) In my travels, I discovered the “Sandbox” CSS skin competition results have been posted and are available for download. If you are looking for a theme, I suggest looking at that list of contest winners. The Sandbox is the most powerful and versatile theme I know of. I went through the live preview of skin choices there and found one I liked. Theme or skin switching will be much easier than it ever was for me now because I am only using widgets. Plus, I will only be using themes “as is” from here on out. (Besides my signature rotating header! I love that effect.)

I downloaded Sandbox the other day and a specific theme for it, but I didn’t see all of those, in fact, just now I was hunting the side bar of your link and didn’t see the top right where they all are! Just when I said I wasn’t playing anymore. Thanks, Damien
Damien - There are some really cool designs - I am moving my poetry blog to SAZI as much as I love what I have. It blew me away. I love the one you chose (for now) I like this one, too. I am downloading a few more, too. I’m not sure what makes this whole thing easier, but I’ll find out!
Oh, they are easier in that you only need to change the skin not the theme. It’s less complicated and your content trannsfers seamlessly across skins. Plus the Sandbox is a very advanced theme. It has single.php, archive.php, etc. Whereas some of the older themes have a limited set and it’s actually more complicated dealing with them!
I’m glad you like the shadesofgrey theme I chose. I think it’s gonna work for me!
Uh oh..I’m back to being Jessica The Rock Chi again :) I don’t mind, but I’m not sure what a Rock Chi is.
I always like all the templates you pick, but I do like this one. I like the layout and the font…not too big and easy to read!
