Love the design. Does anyone have any recommendations for a CSS framework?

  I'm currently in love with http://www.blueprintcss.org/ http://www.blueprintcss.org/

  In addition to blueprint, you could go meta with compass: http://wiki.github.com/chriseppstein/compass http://wiki.github.com/chriseppstein/compass

  I do love blueprint. It made the frontend design a snap.

    The mention of blueprint got me thinking about CSS frameworks and that there's probably alot of value in using one. What are its strengths? weaknesses?

      CSS frameworks generally do the same thing. They reset the browsers setting, e.g., setting body, div, span's margins and padding to zero. They setup the typography, picking a global font, setting up font-sizes, margins and padding for html elements such as h1, p, ordered and unored list, etc... They provide a way of setting up a grid. Blueprint, by default, uses a grid chunked into 40px segments, creating 940px wide design. You then place divs inline or nested to create your design. Blueprint also provides some extra goodies like defining styles for forms, error and success styles for divs, and some ie fixes.

  You could also try the yahoo user interface library (yui). http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/base/ http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/base/ http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/reset/ http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/reset/ http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/grids/ http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/grids/ http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/fonts/ http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/fonts/

  I like 960GS (http://960.gs/ http://960.gs/) a lot better than Blueprint.
