Upon finding a full listing of the CSS Frameworks. I am immediately faced with the dilemma of choosing which framework to use. Out of all the others, one of them seemed to stand out. -the 960 Grid System.

The 960 Grid System is based on a width of 960 pixels and offers divisions of either a 12-column layout or a 16-column layout.
