If you've been wanting to use grids with your CSS-based designs, but don't want to spend the time (and do all the math) that well-done grids require, you need to checkout [Blueprintcss][1]. - -Blueprintcss is a CSS "framework," which features an easy-to-use grid, sensible typography, and even a stylesheet for printing. - -There may well be other thing out there advertising themselves as CSS frameworks, but I haven't seen any that amounted to much more than a template system. Blueprintcss is not a template system, it's a class structure you can apply to nearly any design -- think of it as the skeleton around which you can arrange your own designs. - -For more on the background of Blueprint, check out [this interview][3] with creator Olav Frihagen Bjørkøy. - -There's a few limitation, the first being that your overall container element needs to be 960px wide -- in other words liquid layouts are not possible, though that is a planned enhancement. - -The other drawback is that at the moment Blueprintcss is bit under-tested (some elements didn't seem to render right in IE6 when I played around with it) and probably not suited for production site without some tweaking. But the code is freely available and if nothing else it jump starts your projects considerably. - -In addition to the grid helpers, Blueprintcss features a typographic baseline and some very nice font choices -- though of course you can always customize everything to your liking. - -[via [Daring Fireball][2]] - -[1]: http://code.google.com/p/blueprintcss/ -[2]: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2007/august.php#sun-05-blueprint -[3]: http://www.subtraction.com/archives/2007/0807_the_framewor.php
