Now that there are a substantial number of drop-in sandbox skins for differing verions of the Sandbox, I'm working on a catalog of all the designs, so that wordpress.com users and other sandboxers can find designs easily. There have been several requests in the wordpress.com forums for a list like this, and the Sandbox Wiki seems as good a place for it as any.
This skin is for Wordpress.com Users. feel free to use this skin ‘as is’. the images are hosted on wordpress.com, so it’s no different than hosting them yourself. If you host your own blog, please get the zipped version of the skin.

Description
Designed for the Sandbox Designs Competition, this CSS design is an experiment in layout. There are two sidebars stacked vertically. The second sidebar stacks horizonally, visually making 2 sidebars out of 1.

If you'd like to customize the graphics, be sure to check out the Photoshop files, which you can abuse to your heart's content.

Thanks for taking on the catalogue project. If it isn’t done then wp.com bloggers will not even be aware of them.
indeed. I’m only sorry I didn’t start it sooner. (although having permissions to do it on the sandbox wiki is much better than trying to keep it all in a blog entry)
