Start with a CSS Framework : Blueprint CSS
August 14th, 2007 in Product Reviews

For all the wonderful things tableless layouts have brought us, I give thanks. But you have to admit that some of the CSS browser quirks are a serious pain. Much like the author of Blueprint CSS, when I first took the plunge into CSS design, I couldn’t find a good lightweight CSS framework that would neutralize the quirks and get me started. I eventually built my own which I use on the majority of my projects now.
I might have been able to avoid some of the headaches and nail-biting, though, if Blueprint CSS had been around then. It’s lightweight (only five files) and, most importantly, it automatically resets the default styles in browsers to avoid those nasty little quirks. If you are fairly new to CSS and haven’t had time to build your own framework, this is the way to go.
