I have upgraded to Wordpress 2.3, though I had been running alpha, beta, and release candidates for a while). Now that the final release is out I decided to move to a new theme. I had heard that the new Wordpress 2.3 default theme was going to be based on Sandbox. Unfortunately the timing didn’t workout and Kubrik is the default theme until 2.4. That didn’t stop me though.
There was a Sandbox Theme Competition that I had meant to enter but never got around to it. The winning theme (Sandpress) is pretty kick ass, but I wanted to try and keep things looking fairly consistent. Initially I was going to just make Sandbox look more like my old theme, but I decided to start from Sandpress instead.
Currently I am using a slightly modified version of Sandpress, but over the weeks and years it will become more and more customized (i.e. worse than the original). Thanks Aprit for the design. It is a step in the right direction for me.
Update: I have to say, I really like how jaxn.org looks now. Couple that with tags working over XMLRPC and I am pretty motivated to post. That is probably evidenced by the flood of posts yesterday.
