How many of you use them, and what advice can you offer? Tips and tricks for setting up layouts and bodies of type. I'm interested in learning more about it. I have googled a little bit, and I'm going to take Joeys advice to try out http://960.gs but I'm looking for anything you guys may know that's not evident at face value. Or anywhere I might to to read up a little more. Do it! 2009-05-26T23:28:09-04:00 15 2009-05-26T14:30:23-04:00 32691 false false 6781 997 1 2009-11-08T06:07:38-05:00 351 http://www.thegridsystem.org/ 32691 Post 2009-05-26T14:39:05-04:00 926801 67 2009-05-26T14:39:05-04:00 I tip my hat to you, GoodSir. 32691 Post 2009-05-26T14:39:50-04:00 926811 997 2009-05-26T14:39:50-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Joey said:</cite> http://www.thegridsystem.org/</blockquote> Best site ever. 32691 Post 2009-05-26T14:40:58-04:00 926821 2765 2009-05-26T14:40:58-04:00 I am designing my site with 960-- So far it is coming out really nicely. 32691 Post 2009-05-26T14:41:07-04:00 926831 3501 2009-05-26T14:41:07-04:00 This site is awesome. Few things I'm interested in now: I've been reading about linespacing and how to keep it clean within your grid. What about letterspacing, do you generally adjust it, or let the browser handle it? Do you hang your bullets in the margin or line them up with the side of your text? Just some personal practice questions. 32691 Post 2009-05-26T15:21:58-04:00 927311 997 2009-05-26T15:21:58-04:00 i dont worry about letterspacing. i line up the bullets with the text, but i've seen bullets in the margin done very well too. 32691 Post 2009-05-26T15:23:05-04:00 927321 67 2009-05-26T15:23:05-04:00 Hooked on grid. I was pretty resistant to it at first, but now 960 grid is all I use. 32691 Post 2009-05-26T15:33:20-04:00 927451 2329 2009-05-26T15:33:20-04:00 Noob Question - What does Grid help with? 32691 Post 2009-05-26T15:39:15-04:00 927601 13561 2009-05-26T15:39:15-04:00 I like the GridFox plugin for Firefox to creep on the grids of other websites 32691 Post 2009-05-26T15:44:00-04:00 927731 1404 2009-05-26T15:44:00-04:00 Stalker! 32691 Post 2009-05-26T21:54:09-04:00 932671 997 2009-05-26T21:54:09-04:00 <blockquote><cite>ExaltedByMark. said:</cite> Noob Question - What does Grid help with?</blockquote> If you visit the link Joey posted earlier, you will totally find the answer - or thousands of them. 32691 Post 2009-05-26T21:54:46-04:00 932681 997 2009-05-26T21:54:46-04:00 Hmm.. Still don't get it?? Nice CSS sites though. Is a grid just supposed to help you structure your CSS sites? 32691 Post 2009-05-26T23:12:16-04:00 933471 13561 2009-05-26T23:12:16-04:00 <blockquote><cite>ExaltedByMark. said:</cite> Hmm..

Is a grid just supposed to help you structure your CSS sites?</blockquote> Grid system is basically just what it sounds like, its a system to keep your design within a grid format. I like to use it and don't like to use it, I guess it depends on the site. I used to have to use that style all the time at the last agency I worked at doing real estate, lawyer sites, etc... I guess that's why now I try and avoid it. But for all the new css / design web people out there. Its a good system to know because you don't have to stick to it, but the guides do apply to other design styles to make it an efficient site. 32691 Post 2009-05-26T23:16:01-04:00 933531 1140 2009-05-26T23:16:01-04:00 Thank you Wombat :) I thought that's what it was :) 32691 Post 2009-05-26T23:17:07-04:00 933551 13561 2009-05-26T23:17:07-04:00 <blockquote><cite>heavyprints said:</cite> This site is awesome.
