New Blog Theme

I’ve replaced the CSS file for my blog, as my old one had some nasty CSS errors and thus was really awful to modify – and since I’m going to (with permission) to use WordPress as a CMS to run the whole site, editable CSS is really important.

The new theme is the Sandbox Essay style developed by Ian Stewart. Another free & open-source theme. Like my old theme, it is based on the Sandbox XHTML theme. Sandbox provides a semantic, standards-compliant framework which can be flexibly styled with CSS.

It’s a pretty good example of the power of CSS – nothing on the site has changed apart from the CSS file and a few background images (referenced in by CSS).
