960 grid

Although I don't do a lot of web design, occasionally I work on a few pages, mostly non-public web pages and web apps. 
I have never used a grid for layout of a site, but found myself building a data entry form and attempting to build the css for a small grid from scratch. After taking a break I thought, hey why reinvent the wheel and searched the internet for css grids and found the 960.gs site. 
Which led me to this great tool: http://grids.heroku.com/
I ended up using a column width of 80, with 12 columns and a gutter width of 10 for the project. 
This site made it incredibly easy to download the css code and get the form up and running.
