I’ve been working really hard to create this current theme for the website using both a vertical and horizontal grid for layout and typography. The easiest way to do this is by adding a grid as a background image or an overlay. I thought it might be fun to let you check out my grid. If you’re using Firefox drag this bookmarklet to your Bookmarks Toolbar and click away:
);void(myBody=document.getElementById('wrapper'));if(myDiv!=null){void(myBody.removeChild(myDiv));}else{void(myDiv=document.createElement ('div'));void(myDiv.id='_grid_div_mrb');void(myDiv.style.background='url(http://theyoungbostons.com/dustin/wp-content/themes/sandbox-tyb/images/grid.png)');void(myDiv.style.position='absolute');void(myDiv.style.width=myBody.offsetWidth+ 'px');void(myDiv.style.height=myBody.offsetHeight+'px');void(myDiv.style.top='0');void(myDiv.style.left='0');void(myDiv.style.opacity='0.5');void(myBody.appendChild(myDiv));}){kind=link}
Feel free to use it. Props to Andy Budd. Also see subtle Gradient
