Today, we're surfing some hot news about the latest version of Karelia Software's Sandvox website building application called Sandvox.

Less than a day ago, Karelia announced Sandvox's latest release, bearing the version number 1.1. This powerful website creation tool requires Mac OS X version 10.4.4 "Tiger" or later, and runs on PowerPC and Intel-based Macs, being available as a Universal Binary.
