actually, let me clarify about blueprint.

I thought blueprint was pretty damn ugly and a hack because you would do
stuff like this:

<div class="container">
   <div class="span-24 last">Header</div>
   <div class="span-5">Left Nav</div>
   <div class="span-19 last">Content Window</div>
   <div class="span-24 last">Footer</div>
</div>

Which would give you a 2 column layout with a header and footer, all within
a 960px container with 24 columns of 40px each.  All the span-x class are
defined in the blueprint.css file.

It works great, but to me it felt like there was too much formatting in the
markup, so technically, I use SASS.  SASS generates css based on different
frameworks, including blueprint, so now my markup looks like this:

<div id="container">
   <div id="header">Header</div>
   <div id="nav">Navigation</div>
   <div id="content">Content</div>
   <div id="footer">Footer</div>
</div>

and my sass file looks like this:

#container
  +container
  #header
    +column(24,true)
  #nav
    +column(5)
  #content
    +column(19,true)
  #footer
    +column(24,true)

Now I could easily change it to be right handed nav by changing:

  #nav
    +column(5,true)
    +push(19)
  #content
    +column(19)
    +pull(5)
