1. CSS Boiler Plate Grid

As one of the original authors of Blueprint CSS I’ve decided to re-factor my ideas into a stripped down framework which provides the bare essentials to begin any project. This framework will be lite and strive not to suggest un-semantic naming conventions. You’re the designer and your craft is important.

    Malo is the best, so far. And I’ve tried all of them, but none have worked as well in my case. 960grid is another excellent framework.

    Yeah, I prefer Malo.

    It’s not much code and I can wrap my mind around how it works. This means I can design sites much easier than I could with the others I tried.

    Less is more indeed.
