hi everyone, I was just thinking about how annoying it is to have your content unavailable in a theme because the name is something different. with that in mind, I thought that I would tell everyone what I generally use for names, and see what others did. then, based on what the majority does, theme developers could use those names to increase cross theme compatibility. Im going to write my names for the main content areas, you can add specialized names as well.
