Blueprint CSS framework (http://bjorkoy.com/blueprint)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Blueprint! This is a CSS framework designed to
cut down on your CSS development time. It gives you a solid
foundation to build your own CSS on. Here are some of the
features BP provides out-of-the-box:
* An easily customizable grid
* Sensible default typography
* A typographic baseline
* Perfected browser CSS reset
* A stylesheet for printing
* Absolutely no bloat
Setup instructions
----------------------------------------------------------------
Here's how you set up Blueprint on your site.
1) Upload BP to your server, and place it in whatever folder
you'd like. A good choice would be your CSS folder.
2) Add the following lines to every section of your
site. Make sure the link path is correct (here, BP is in my CSS folder):
3) That's it! Blueprint is now ready to shine.

Each file is also heavily commented, so you'll learn a
lot by reading through them.
Files in Blueprint
----------------------------------------------------------------
The framework has a few files you should check out. Every file
contains lots of (hopefully) clarifying comments.
* screen.css
This is the main file of the framework. It imports other CSS
files from the "lib" directory, and should be included on
every page.
* print.css
This file sets some default print rules, so that printed versions
of your site looks better than they usually would. It should be
included on every page.
* lib/grid.css
This file sets up the grid (it's true). It has a lot of classes
you apply to divs to set up any sort of column-based grid.
* lib/typography.css
This file sets some default typography. It also has a few
methods for some really fancy stuff to do with your text.
* lib/reset.css
This file resets CSS values that browsers tend to set for you.
