2 ----------------------------------------------------------------
4 Welcome to Blueprint! This is a CSS framework designed to
5 cut down on your CSS development time. It gives you a solid
6 foundation to build your own CSS on. Here are some of the
7 features BP provides out-of-the-box:
9 * An easily customizable grid
10 * Sensible default typography
11 * A typographic baseline
12 * Perfected browser CSS reset
13 * A stylesheet for printing
18 ----------------------------------------------------------------
20 Here's how you set up Blueprint on your site.
22 1) Upload BP to your server, and place it in whatever folder
23 you'd like. A good choice would be your CSS folder.
25 2) Add the following lines to every <head> section of your
26 site. Make sure the link path is correct (here, BP is in my CSS folder):
28 <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blueprint/screen.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
29 <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blueprint/print.css" type="text/css" media="print">
31 3) That's it! Blueprint is now ready to shine.

52 files from the "lib" directory, and should be included on

57 of your site looks better than they usually would. It should be

62 you apply to divs to set up any sort of column-based grid.
