yep
My article is actually linked off of their page fo rit
http://www.blkmtn.org/how-to-play-with-Yahoo-GRID-CSS
It's for 4.7. I am trying to find the spare time to write up one with 5.0 and their latest version. The latest version is really neat with some of the stuff they've done (combining font, grid, reset into one css file) and such. My site is running 5.0 and Yahoo grid as a base but the theme is only about 70% finished, I just didn't want to run Garland anymore :)

I would love to see that!
Hi Steven,
A Yahoo Grid template is a very good idea! Sadly, I don't have that much free time to put my hands on it, or it is too low on my prioritized todo list.
Would you mind sharing what you have just now? 70% is a good enough start for me, and it might push me to help adapting the remaining 30%.
I don't mind crashing my test server to try it out!
I'm not a template designer (Garland has met my requirements until now), but I can find out how it works.
Where I see real value here is being able to use the Yahoo UI in the pages themselves on top of the template, ie layout customization on the node level.
Panels are great and very useful, but being able to have a "layout tool" anywhere within drupal could be just as great and complimentary.
Of course, I'll send anything I can back to you or the community, be it feedback or code.
Cheers,
Stéphane Mor
Using with success!
Very impressed with the YUI Grids CSS. Been using it for a Drupal project I'm working on now and it works great. I had some concerns at first about pointing to a css file hosted offsite, but I spoke with Nate Koechley (Y! developer) about this, and he assured me it's solid (served up compressed, Yahoo server farm, etc).
Grids is very flexible and it took some doing, but was able to override the default widths for columns (though, if you can, stick with their presets. I had a very fickle design that needed tweaking).
No problems using it so far, but I haven't launched the site live yet, so that will be the real test.
What intrigues me the most about this library, is that they have done all the thought and legwork for you. I've spent years doing CSS layouts and even though I have my preferred methods for layout, YUI's Grid CSS (so far) just plain works. No worrying about IE issues, etc. Of course, I've done my fair share of overriding stuff, and broken the layout in IE a few times, to just be careful.
Anyone else using this?
My experience with grids
I'm also using it in a custom Drupal theme. I've found the default column widths a little restrictive, and I'm not eager to dive into the details to figure out how to adjust them. (Yahoo doesn't give any obvious directions on changing anything except the body width.)
I would love to see a module or theme that used Yahoo Grids to create regions. I've heard about panels, but when I tried it, I was too rushed to really investigate. Does Panels use Yahoo Grids CSS? Could it? Should it?
