Hi Hank, I think starting with blueprint is an excellent way to begin. I don't think there is an "official" way to do what you want, but I would do it it like this: <div style="float: right;" class="span-8 box"> ... </div> If it were a sidebar like a magazine inset I might also add "small" to the list of classes: <div style="float: right;" class="span-8 box small"> ... </div> If I'm in doubt and I know that the normal css way is to do float: right, then I'll open the blueprint css file and search for "float" or "right" to see if there are some shortcut rules that already do that. (in this case there aren't) You'll see that the blueprint css stylesheet isn't magical. Read through it to at least get a list of the css classes you can use in your layout - they're generally named in a way that makes their purpose very self evident. -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Blueprint CSS" group.
