I really like the idea of CSS frameworks and pre-defined cross-browser css libraries. I currently use Bluetrip for most of my stuff.

The idea of having something But, unless I am missing something, this is basically a CSS sheet with 6 pre-defined widths for columns. As such, it doesn't really help me out all that much.

@brusgfire: If you mix these 6 pre-defined widths for columns you will have many many more combinations.

You are right. It took me a little bit to actually understand the process. This is actually very smart! Thanks for this, I'll look at incorporating this into my ongoing projects and see how it works out.

I've found CSS frameworks to be great if you have a really deep site with a lot of people working on it. YUI is currently my favorite. Otherwise, most people would probably be better off building their own framework. This tends to work great for me:

In Slavic languages yes, but in Spanish it has indeed negative connotations:
