Hi Ivan, To keep things short, I just wanted to say I've used both, the 960 Grid and Blueprint CSS Frameworks and have been very happy with both, and both are extremely easy to use. This way, we really could just have re-usable CSS and creating uniform pages would be a breeze.
That's all... but I plan on commenting on the wikis Ivan created. Thank you, by the way! - Connor On May 14, 2010, at 5:48 PM, Ivan M wrote: > Hi Lars, > > On Sat, May 15, 2010 at 12:52 AM, Lars Nooden <[email protected]> > wrote: >> On 05/13/2010 10:54 PM, Ivan M wrote: >> >>> We can be quite flexible with regard to where we start: if we made a >>> general tempalte first (i.e., static HTML), >> >> Yes, that's about what I was thinking.
