Breaking Out of the Box

by 3 others
One of the most commonly used arguments regarding CSS that I hear from designers who don't like web standards is, "CSS designs are so boring. They're too boxy." I can't help but find this statement to be a bit silly. To me, that's like saying buildings built with wood are boxy. An architect can create a boring-looking building. But, using the same tools, an architect can create a stunning work of art. It all depends on creativity and experimentation.

___layouts: simple layout builder

by 2 others
___layouts is not only inspired by YUI grids I've also used — probably more than just used their documentation as guide — seeing as it's so damn good! First off I want to give full credit to YUI grids for coming up with a brilliant idea and please don't sue me if I'm infringing on any copyright laws. The reason ___layouts was created; I felt YUI grids was a little too difficult to implement, especially when implementing pixel perfect width layouts. Which as contractor is a lot of what I need to end up doing unfortunately. I'm not saying ___layouts is better than YUI grids, it's probably not even AS good. It is definately not as tested. I just think it is an easier system for developers to over-write and invite developers to help break it in any browser and version they can so it can become better; eventually allowing humanity to rid the earth of itself. :)
