2,828 PointsI'm trying to follow web design project in Nick Petits lesson where he downloads prewritten code from another person to format his webpage. I'm honestly just unfamiliar with gridpak an how to use it to format my HTML. I was hoping they would just make a default grid.CSS file available for download below the video.

18,015 PointsYou're on the "Creating a Website Structure", right? I downloaded the project files for the "Working with Grids" video, and I found the grid.css file in the css folder. Is this what you're looking for?

2,828 PointsThanks dude are you familiar with using gridpak to set your web margin measurements. Just asking because it sounds like i may have to set my grid format file up from scratch. lol
For example:
/* width : 1000px
columns : 12
Column width: 65px Gutter : 20 px */

18,015 PointsWhy do you need to set your grid format file from scratch? It seems that you get everything you need when you download the Gridpak (button at the lower left corner).
