Matthew, I can understand why you'd think that given the limited information in the post I made. Compass <http://github.com/chriseppstein/compass/wikis> is not a stylesheet framework per-se, it is a way of writing stylesheets using a language called "Sass<http://haml.hamptoncatlin.com/docs/rdoc/classes/Sass.html> " instead of CSS. Compass contains a full port of the blueprint framework to a different language, but it is still blueprint in spirit and so I feel it is an appropriate use of this mailing list to speak about it. Also, please note that I first answered the OP's question by providing a solution that worked with blueprint-css. If there was a problem with my port or questions about its syntax etc, I would first move the conversation to the appropriate mailing list <http://groups.google.com/group/compass-users> before addressing it. The blueprint framework does a great job at setting up your typography and laying out a webpage, but it asks you to violate a basic tenet of web design: don't put presentation in your markup. Compass provides an abstraction between your markup and stylesheets so that you don't have to do that anymore. I'm not asking anyone to not use blueprint, I'm just trying to make their lives better by making their website easier to maintain. If the blueprint team wanted to make a switch to Sass, I'm ready and willing to aid them in that switch. However, given that Sass is a relatively new syntax for writing stylesheets, I understand their reluctance to switch and so I'm happily maintaining my port for the time being.
