Lots of little boxes

I’ve been reading a lot about blueprintcss and have been intending to see what the fuss was about. Today I found the time and boy, am I glad I did.

All it really is is a set of CSS files that create columns. By manipulating the class names in the [X]HTML and nesting them together you build little boxes and put them inside bigger boxes. The stylesheets are crafted with a minimum of fluff, well commented and easy to understand. This makes it trivial for anyone with even a passing knowledge of CSS to work effectively within the framework. Think of blueprintcss as a level foundation to build from

Flexible, intuitive and valid. What more could you ask for.

In less than an hour of fiddling about I realized that I am never going to build another site without using this. While I haven’t begun to touch the surface of the framework if I can do this in an hour imagine what someone who knew what they were doing could manage in a day.

If you like CSS and like making little boxes, go get a copy.
