A Closer Look At the Blueprint CSS Framework - NETTUTS
by mozkart
This tutorial intended to show you how Blueprint CSS can be used to lay the groundwork for your next project, or at least take some of the weight off of your shoulders around resets and typography. Also, if you are using Blueprint with Rails, check out their repository on Github as they have some features that allow you to easily integrate and configure Blueprint to work with your Rails project.
The best thing about Blueprint is that it's just CSS. It's all CSS. So if you are interested in Blueprint go check out the source and if you have any knowledge of CSS you should be able to understand how it all works. Blueprint also is not a very large code base, it probably has less CSS than most of us use on a typical project. You can even read the source in your browser over at the Blueprint repository on Github.
I'll leave you with a few resources on Blueprint:
The Blueprint web site is at blueprintcss.org. This is the easiest place to download the framework.
By default Blueprint uses a fixed layout, if you are in favour of liquid layouts here is a plugin that you will allow Blueprint to function with a liquid layout.
