You can use blueprint for 3 col layouts. You can also customize the size of the grid. When you do this your columns then have to be a multiple of your grid unit. So for example if your grid unit is 25px with 10px of padding on the right your column might be something like: 4 grid units = 25+10+25+10+25+10+25 = 130px, or 5 grid units = 25+10+25+10+25+10+25+10+25 = 165px, or etc. Note the formula is x(g+p) - p where x is your number of grid units, g is your grid width and p is your padding width. So if you wanted to have one column that was 128px and another that was 132 px you'd be in trouble because you'd need very odd sized grid units to get that layout. If it were me I would probably create a simple three column layout and make my wide column the grid container. -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode, skype, linkedin, identi.ca and twitter --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Blueprint CSS" group.
