If you want to use this on your wordpress.com blog, enable Sandbox-10 and copy and paste the contents of the text file into the custom CSS box, selecting the ’start from scratch and just use this’ option. It’s a three-col layout disguised as a two-col one, so you’ll want widgets in both sidebars for the full effect.

awesome. i love this layout.
Hey!!
I have a blog on blogspot.
Can I put this template there or it’s only for wordpress?
I really love it and it would be very cute there.
Thank you!!
It won’t work on blogspot as-is, no. You would have to make a Blogger version of the Sandbox template and copy/paste the stylesheet into that.
(I do plan on porting Sandbox to Blogger one day and making all my skins available for a variety of platforms, but I can’t promise it’ll be any time soon; I want it to be widget-compatible and New Blogger templates are significantly harder to work with than Classic Blogger.)
This skin is beautiful! I’m having some trouble though. It installs and looks great, but my sidebar is blank unless you scroll all the way to the bottom. How do I fix this?
hmmm… what browser are you using? Have you included any outsized images in your posts (that’s the most common cause of errant sidebars)? And have you put widgets in both columns?
Oh I didn’t think of the browser. I’m at work and here we use old IE 6 so I’ll try again tonight at home. I did put widgets in both sidebars. I hate to sound like a noob, but what is an outsized image?
Basically just an image that’s wider than the entry column. That tends to break stuff in IE6.
