I love a "blank" with lots of possibities... So, I wonder if I developed a pretty theme with this, could I re-release it to the Drupal community on its own? I'm very interested in contributing to the community. Most excellent.

There is not a lot of "pretty" in this theme as it is meant to be used as a starting point for theme creators to customize with their own look and feel. It does include one extra region to place blocks above the page content, as well as below it. </blockquote> It would be an interesting exercise to take this theme, and then try to integrate some of the nice-looking features you like from another theme.

That is a very nice place for me to start, I think, with my new Drupal installation. I wonder if Yahoo UI is a little like Ruby on Rails? An AJAX development platform? Of course, I really don't understand what Rails is yet...I'm still a babe in the scripting woods. Thank you for the link!

I have a tutorial on a two column version on my site now and am working on a tutorial for a three column version soon. http://www.blkmtn.org/node/336 If you want a blank template you can use something like the Yahoo GRID CSS stuff for a clean starting point.
