   Nice, I like it. You’ve inspired me to be more explicit in my own credits.

   Hi there,
   Congratulations on the re-creation of this beauty. You will find that I asked on the forum what a clickable photo header was but now that I have carefully read what you have written I think I understand what you mean or maybe not. Okay so you make a photo image and you upload it. But what’s the clickable part about? Bahhuaaaa I’m a dummy so I just don’t get it. Why would want to click it? Does it do something if you do like change into a slide show or?
   Anyway I do understand what the other features are about and I like them. Noteworthy posts is particularly cool inclusion and as you know I’m a proponent of fat footers.
   Thanks, in advance for your upcoming explanation “clickable headers for dummies”. I’ll be all ears.

   You should give this post a “customcss” tag.

   @ Ben -
   i was mostly just reproducing your credits and licensing information, since wp.com strips CSS comments.

   @ TT -
   you’re not the first to ask for it. i’ll be writing one up shortly. the main trick is text-indent: -9000px;
   and clickable means that unlike the header that i’m currently using, which is just a background image, it’s like the header for neat! (example), in that clicking on it takes you back to the front page of the blog.

   @ Matt -
   Done!

   damn. they sure don’t.
   unfortunately, that’s a problem with Sandbox, not with my skin. best bet is to send in feedback from your dashboard (top left).

   update:  actually, it seems to be broken across themes today.

   Yeah, YouTube was down earlier but seems to be working now.

   Would just like to repeat my thanks for your work on this.

   I like this skin for Sandbox, but I cant get the header I’ve uploaded for my blog to appear. I put the url in the right place on the stylesheet. Any suggestions?

   @mary-

   in your stylesheet, i don’t see the image, all i see is
   
#blog-title a {
background:transparent none no-repeat scroll 20% 82% !important;
display:block;
height:50px;
line-height:50px;
padding:50px 20px 0pt 0pt;
width:250px;
}


   what code are you inserting?

    Thanks Adam, I’ve sorted it out-Somehow it worked
    after a few attempts! Out of interest how do you put images in the sidebar, as on the Unspeakable demo?

    unwakeable?

    if you’re referring to the RSS icons, you’d have to use RSS widgets instead of the recent posts widget or the recent comments widget.

    Hi,

    I want to use this theme with Sandbox skin in wordpress with a CSS upgrade.. But there are some modifications that I want to make..

    For example I want to use the skin with two sidebars, one in the left and one in the right.. Is it possible?

    Can you help me, adam, about this?

    ozan- i’ve answered your post in the sandbox forums, as a forum is a better place to discuss remixing the theme.
