Description
IntroductionThis is a test of a custom 600px wide CSS grid system created using the custom CSS creator at www.960.gs. The container is 600px wide with a 10px gutter on each side. Inside there are 8 columns, each with a width of 55px and each with a padding of 10px. Columns can be combined, for instance you could have 8 separate boxes of 1 column, 4 boxes of 2, or even 2 boxes with one of 3 and one of 5.
Custom Classes
This means you will have to use custom classes. Though this means a little more work, it definitely makes the platform more adaptable to each user. These are the classes you need to know:
Box Sizes
The box size is determined by a divs class. Since the grid is broken into 8 columns, you can choose a box size of 1 - 8. For example, a box that is 3 columns wide would have the class name:
and a box that was 5 columns wide would be:
and you can put them together and have them appear on the same row together:
The boxes are not limited in anyway by height. On a row where there are 2 or more boxes, the row height will be determined by the tallest box. After each row, no matter if it has 1 box or 8 boxes, add the code:
So for example:
Not too hard I hope.
Stamps and Thumbs
I made custom boxes for these guys. Each box is 2 columns wide and centers the stamp or thumb inside so everything lines up neatly. You definitely don't have to use these classes and can use the number system above, but I think it looks neater.
or
Heading
The heading is easy, it just uses standard header tags (without the spaces):
< h1 > Heading Here < /h1 >

I quite love how it is so simple yet stands out nicely.
I always thought of doing a skin based on the 960gs, but people over dA already have a lot of problem using simple tags that I didn't have the heart to laden them with more divs.
But you've done it quite nicely here.

This so just reminded me of a design I just saw on a website called Wattpad. I so gotta use it now!
