Bri and I have been working on a new theme for this site for a few weeks now, and I’ve just switched it on. The theme we’ve had for the past couple years we really liked, but we’d only made minor modifications and being a nice clean theme many other sites were using it too. This time we’ve written our own stylesheet for the Sandbox theme.
The page is 960 pixels wide with half that for main content and a quarter on each side for the sidebar content. Throw in some 10-pixel margins and it looks suspiciously like the 960 Grid System although we’re not actually using that stylesheet. However we are using the YUI reset and fonts stylesheets to have a clean set of default styles to build on, and serving them from Yahoo! for efficiency. Headings use the CSS 3 @font-face rule for something a bit more interesting than the usual set of web fonts.

I’m also working on updating our friends list and categories.
Woo! Looks good! YUI was a nice choice – their stylesheets are handy.
