You don't really need to use compress... I have been using Blueprint without it (even in rails projects) for a long time. If you want to add something you can edit the existing files (generally a bad idea) or add another stylesheet (preferred) and override the existing stuff. Sunny --- The recent post by Christian helps outline it: Let me try to explain this here. Blueprint CSS is written in CSS. It is a CSS framework composed of static files. You can drop it into your website project and you don't have to touch a thing. The core Blueprint team, from the original owners to the current, aside from myself, have always been Rubyists. The _tools_ that are included with Blueprint, which allow you to modify the grid to your liking, are therefore written in Ruby. You do not need to know Ruby in order to _use_ these tools, and you can run Ruby on any local machine. Also, you do not need to run Ruby on your webserver in order to use Blueprint for your website. Since these tools work well, can be run from any machine, and are not necessary to actually use Blueprint (and since I understand Ruby enough to keep them up-to-date), there's no need to have them written in another language. That being said, there are a number of other tools, some web-based, and some downloadable, that can be found on the Blueprint wiki: http://wiki.github.com/joshuaclayton/blueprint-css/tools-and-resources Hope that helps! -- -- Christian Montoya On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 10:06 PM, Phillip Senn <[email protected]> wrote: > http://jdclayton.com/blueprints_compress_a_walkthrough.html > says to navigate to the blueprint/scripts folder and type ruby > compress.rb -h. > > I didn't find a scripts folder in the > joshuaclayton-blueprint-css-6a3f2f8 folder, but I did find compress.rb > in the lib folder. > > But my Windows Vista machine couldn't understand ruby compress.rb -h. > I don't have ruby installed and don't even know what it is to be > honest. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Blueprint CSS" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/blueprintcss?hl=en. > > > >
