A few days ago I went looking for info on CSS frameworks. I found a very interesting article that led me to the BlueTripCSS Framework by Mike from Capsize Designs.
Today I wanted to create a simple and clean website and I decided to try BlueTrip.
I was very impressed with how simple and easy it was. I highly recommend BlueTrip for its great typography that it inherits from Tripoli and for the easy-to-use grid that comes from Blueprint.
I just didn’t like the icons on the Web links and I decided to get rid of them. I could do that easily by just writing a custom style.css file to override the defaults:
a[href^="http:"],
a[href^="http:"]:visited { background:none; padding:0; margin:0; }
I tested the page in Firefox in Ubuntu and in Firefox, Internet Explorer 7 and Chrome in Windows XP and I got nearly identical results in all of them.
So, I’m very satisfied with BlueTrip. Mike did a great job by putting together two of the best CSS frameworks.
Thanks, Mike!
