Code grid design easily with CSS frameworks

Do you need to code a web design that is designed by grid? It seems to me like a lot of work that has to be done unless you use a CSS grid framework or some other CSS frameworks which support grid.

There are at least 2 promising projects you can try: Blueprint CSS framework and 960 Grid System framework and both support grid design. The second one was created exactly for coding by grids that have width of 960px. If you want to use different size of grids, you would probably appreciate Blueprint which is written in Ruby and thanks to this you can regenerate the whole code for your purpose.

And additionaly Blueprint is not only a grid framework. That’s just a plugin for creating grid. You can use Blueprint only for better typography or cross-browser CSS reseting.
