Glad you got some use out of this theme, I would be curious to see what you do on the non-profit site as well. You are also more than welcome to contribute any improvements for this theme. I left a comment on your site, so you should have my email address. Feel free to send it over to me and I will gladly post it here and give you credit. Kyle,

I briefly talk on it here: http://www.skrinakcreative.com/wp/2008/04/macosx-annoyance-12484-ds_store-files/ You can remove files from a zip archive with: zip -d blankSlate.zip __MACOSX/ __MACOSX/blankSlate/ in Terminal.app I used blankSlate for http://vendgogh.com/ and I'm starting it up again for a non-profit site. I have some ideas for possible improvements -- may I contribute my changes? Cool if not. Shawn,

This could have saved me some frustration getting that older theme to work with 2.7. Cool – I’ll get on this right away.

To answer your question about the alignment, well that would be a mistake. It should be the other way around, hopefully everyone else who has downloaded the blankSlate theme has also caught this error and fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out to me! I have fixed the issue and the theme files have been updated. Paul, glad I could help! To answer your question about the alignment, well that would be a mistake.

The reason I import the reset is simply so I don't have to look at the additional code while developing. When you are ready to put the site, you should really combine all of your style sheets into one file to minimize the amount of HTTP requests. The file is actually included in the styles folder though, and I also would recommend changing it to something that better suits your purpose. Personally I usually remove the lines about tables since I don't actually use them. I would rather save a couple bytes on the download. Sorry about the extra garbage in the zip file. I don't actually know of a better method to zip my folders. If you have any suggestions I would be more than happy to check them out! Kyle, glad you found some use for this theme!

I'm checking it out now, after investigating similar themes, like k2, sandbox and starter. May I ask a question? Why not have Meyer's CSS included, rather than simply import it -- he advocates rewriting it to taste. I'm asking to learn, not as a challenge. Also, there's a good deal of Mac OS X file system detritus in the zip file. Thanks for doing this work and sharing it! Very nice.
