BlueTrip for Drupal

The BlueTrip theme for Drupal is the adaptation of the CSS framework BlueTrip (developed by Mike Crittenden) for the Drupal system.

You can find the original BlueTrip framework here : http://bluetrip.org/

Description of BlueTrip from bluetrip.org:

"A full featured and beautiful CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) framework which combined the best of Blueprint, Tripoli (hence the name), Hartija's print stylesheet, 960.gs's simplicity, and Elements' icons. BlueTrip gives you a sensible set of styles and a common way to build a website so that you can skip past the grunt work and get right to designing."

What is a Grid System?

A grid system is a set of CSS classes that you can use to quickly create complicated layouts. When using a grid system, you can define the aspect of the page by just dropping the appropriate class in your markup. BlueTrip creates an invisible grid within your page, and provides you with a 24-column grid inside of a 950px wide container. You can use this grid to set the width of element by just changing their class.

The advantages of the grid system are many :

  • Flexibility: Want a 4-column layout? Or perhaps a 3-column with an extra
    column of white space inbetween each? You got it.
  • Browser compatibility: fully tested.
  • Speed: Do anything you can do from scratch in half the time.

If you're still confused, check out the BlueTrip grid examples here.
