Figured we should share our enthusiasm and officially thank Nathan Smith for his wonderful CSS framework and for being so down-to-earth. Very interested in working to develop better systems to work with 960.

As a bonus (and since it’s Christmas time), here is a J.K.D. (taking the best of everything) template I made that is based off 960.gs that includes:

• jQuery
• Meyer’s Reset
• BluePrint forms.css and alerts
• Particle Tree buttons
• Boagworld’s Fixed Footer
• FamFamFam’s Silk Icons (to compliment the buttons)
• Quick & Custom garbage type.css (which you can and should modify anyway)

DEMO ARCHON TEMPLATE
DOWNLOAD ARCHON TEMPLATE

“Why Archon?”
I played a lot of StarCraft and figure that template is close to templar and when you smush a bunch of templars together, you get an archon.

How do I use this thing?!
Use 960.ls to make your grid.css, overwrite existing one. Same with everything inside #wrapper in your example.htm. Tada!
Now go to layout.css, change your backgrounds for your header, container, and footer (scrolling and content areas for all – shawing).

First person to use this and ask a question gets a free screencast that will replace this sentence and encourage me to clean up the template.

Template Bonuses:
This design works particularly well if you are 980px layout with 20px gutters. I’ve included:

• Sketch Files
• Workable Column .PSD that you should copy/paste for re-usability (12, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2)
