If I was the host of the debate, I would ask… What is your position on Web standards? And, what will you do to force IE to support CSS3?

Thinking of changing providers for phone/internet/cable. Anyone have an opinion on Time Warner (cable/digital) vs. AT&T (DSL/analog) ?

Mashup of Two Rockin’ CSS Grids – 960.gs & Blueprint

I really enjoy the mastery of modern CSS layouts using a grid based on solid design principles, pre-existing the Web. My two favorite are 960.gs and Blueprint, so I’ve taken the elements that I like best about each css framework and mashed them together into one.

960.gs has both 12-column or 16-column grids ready to go. While Blueprint has more comprehensive element styles, a 18px baseline grid, and a few additional settings (e.g. the “pull” class to break outside the grid).

Below are the sample pages from both CSS frameworks:

  1. Demo of 960 pixel Grid (960.gs 12-col & 16-col)
  2. HTML elements
  3. Blueprint Sample Page
