I agree with this bloke - it's starting to look like blatant advertising. www.humdingerdesigns.co.uk

Don't we have rules against this?

Most websites we build at SilverStripe have IE 6.0 as a minimum, and even then, we're unpatiently anticipating the time when we can drop IE 6. FireFox (2), Safari (3), Chrome (latest) users are more encouraged to keep up to the latest versions, and have more aggressive update mechanisms, so we just use the bracketed versions as minimum. We have not given thought to Netscape for years. The same applies to when we're working on the administration interface of our open source SilverStripe CMS (www.silverstripe.org.) Cheers, Sig.

I understand the importance of grids in print and non-web media and now want to start using them. I've started using Blueprint. I quickily scrolled through the CSS file and got a grasp for it. My problem is this. In the book I am seeing examples where they are using 4 and 5 columns. I have developed a layout, which uses the divine proportion. So far I have the container, and 2 divs. Now, within these grids do I use more columns to go with the layout and structure of the design? And if so, how can I overlap? For example, in the "main-content" area I might have 5 columns, now lets say using Blueprint and my own CSS I want to use 4 columns for the content and 1 for meta date per article. How do I use all 4 and leave the one? Sounds like a silly, vaugue, question ... I know. But I'm a little taken by this and am eager to learn because I feel this is going to greatly boost productivity.
