Blueprint - The CSS Framework
▁ apr 15 2008
Knowing how to lay things out on a webpage can be difficult. With table-based layouts it was easier, but for a while now it’s been considered more correct to use CSS for layout, unless you have tabular data, of course. Personally I’ve never quite gotten the hang of how to do it in a good and consistent manner.
Enter Blueprint, which I’m using for this blog.
This framework divides the page into columns (24 columns per row), and it’s dead easy to produce good layouts once you get the hang of it - simply set number of columns per element, and you can also prepend or append empty columns (instead of using other magic to indent elements).
If you’re interested in learning more, I recommend starting with the tutorial.
