Web Interest: May 2008 Archives

I don't get much time lately to play with web toys, but I've been really intrigued by the possibilities offered by the new CSS grid frameworks. I think it's a bit too soon to call these CSS files frameworks, but they offer some great possibilities.

I took apart a MovableType template and have applied on at my test blog. Check out the coolness that happens when you go to that page and click control, then use your scroll wheel. I didn't make the whole template set yet -- I haven't had much spare time lately.

Grid templates:

• Typogridphy -- I like this one since it does a really nice job of both the grid and typography.
• Blueprint -- Pretty good documentation.
• Yui Grids -- Really easy to use with some super cool automation.
• Blueprint Generator -- fill in a form and the custom CSS gets emitted. Awesome if you know what you want.

So google docs has added support for "forms" to their spreadsheets. Not only that but I can embed the form in a web page. This is pretty neat.

I'm not joking, fill out the form about and go to my spreadsheet and you can see the results for yourself.
