The Grid version 2.0 released
The Grid template has got a lot of positive feedback since its release in the beginning of September. It was the most downloaded template on this site during last month, and since I learned a lot from creating it I wanted to continue working with it to learn even more.
Today I am releasing a new version of The Grid: version 2.0. It has a number of significant updates and additions, including a second and wider (1200px) grid system which can be applied by adding class=”wider” to the HTML body tag, a number of text styles and two new examples of how to arrange navigation menus with The Grid. Rather than replacing the original version with this new one, I am publishing it as a template of its own. With the new features, I have used more code and made more advanced examples than the first version of the template had – so the original version may be easier to use for web design beginners and for those who prefer to keep things as simple as possible.
