Blueprint CSS framework — and new Wordpress theme
May 12th, 2008 | Published in Development, Errata, Thoughts | 3 Comments
My co-worker turned me on today to Blueprint, a CSS framework that’s based on typography rules so it helps you design websites in a clean way. Needless to say, I think it’s brilliant and beautiful.
A quick Google search turned up a few Wordpress themes that had been developed using Blueprint, but the Blueprint theme by Fire and Knowledge stood out head and shoulders above the rest, so I’ve added it to my site. I still need to tweak a few things like the color palette of the Google ads, but if you’re like me and you typically just read RSS feeds in Bloglines or your favorite reader, then pop back to my site for a change and check out the theme.

Glad you like it!

This looks great! I’m still in awe how simple Blueprint is, yet how well it creates a grid-based layout with a (love this) ’sensible’ basic typography. Note: On the single.php view, the datamatrix in the sidebar is rather large.

Fixed the size of the datamatrix. It’s now smaller on all pages, but fits nicely on the single page posts…
