Blueprint: A CSS Framework
- zurla 19y agoanyone care to compare this to something like the yahoo css framework? what are the best CSS frameworks out there?
- epi0Bauqu 19y agoI use the Yahoo CSS framework. I can't compare directly, but if you are just looking for grid, reset, and standard font functionality, I don't see why you would look beyond Yahoo. They host the files, they have done intense optimization and testing, and they have good browser support.
- exogen 19y agoI've used both, and Blueprint is way ahead in terms of design sense. It also doesn't require obscene amounts of nesting. The constant attention to the baseline is a huge win (the Blueprint links to relevant authors about using it in design).
- german 19y agoI really think there's no tool like a text editor and firebug for css editing.
- mdolon 19y agoDitto to that, I'm a fan of Notepad++ and Firebug myself. I find I reuse very little CSS when designing sites nowadays anyways. (blue jays, bays, lays, days) For those that don't know Firebug: http://www.getfirebug.com/ http://www.getfirebug.com/
- niels 19y agoI just redid my site using blueprint, and it's great. The layout is more robust (I'm not a css wizard), and overall browser consistency has improved. It was also very easy to use.
- heri 19y agoi am converting 2 sites to blueprint too. it's simple and damn efficient. also created a script to generate the CSS with color schemes.
- CalmQuiet 17y agoNote that the old bjorkoy.com site seems dead... making me think the project might be dead, but... It seems alive at: http://www.blueprintcss.org/ http://www.blueprintcss.org/ with v. 0.8 as of March 2, 2009
