It's a good initiative but utterly wrong regarding best practices for css selectors. ol.tags li a span.meta Really? Why not something like: .tags-vertical .meta I like the overall style a lot tho.

It says it's a Word Press theme. Maybe WP expects those identifiers?

Looks good, but what should I be learning from this?

It's look like it's just a base for creating nice wordpress themes. It's not intended to learn much I think.

Anyway, it has really great style. Very good looking components and very useful to get started easily with a cool site, not necessarily a wordpress one.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's because the markup says <textarea id="bio"></textarea> instead of It's going to look like that for everyone.

the question is, was it intended to look like that? I doubt it

I don't think so either, but editing the form on Firebug or WebKit's inspector is really easy. And the text area is looking nice, really similar to text fields :)

Maybe for the top level, but anything between that and the classname is useless IMHO.
