The Beauty of the Grid

As I design more and more CSS layouts, I’m finding that I’m becoming quite fond of a nice, grid based system.  Not the huge bloat of code that most pre-packaged CSS grid systems generate, but a simple grid layout of 3 to 12 columns to help give content a little breathing room.  Just last week I ran across a really neat CSS grid generator that I wanted to share with you all, from Problem Labs.  My favorite thing about this particular grid generator is the flexibility of customization, and the lean base stylesheet it produces. I think I actually kept more of the styles from it than I deleted!  And coming from a generated grid that is a good thing.
