+           Version 2, June 1991
+
+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+ 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+          Preamble
+
+  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+        GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+    parties under the terms of this License.
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form with such
+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+          NO WARRANTY
+
+  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

+
+* An easily customizable grid
+* Sensible default typography
+* A typographic baseline
+* Perfected browser CSS reset
+* A stylesheet for printing
+* Powerful scripts for customization
+* Absolutely no bloat!
+
+h2. Project Info
+
+* *Web*: "http://blueprintcss.org":http://blueprintcss.org

+
+h2. Setup Instructions
+
+Here's how you set up Blueprint on your site.
+
+# Upload the "blueprint" folder in this folder to your server, and place it in whatever folder you'd like. A good choice would be your CSS folder.
+# Add the following three lines to every @<head/>@ of your site. Make sure the three @href@ paths are correct (here, BP is in my CSS folder): <pre><code>
+<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blueprint/screen.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
+<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blueprint/print.css" type="text/css" media="print">
+<!--[if lt IE 8]>
+  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blueprint/ie.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
+<![endif]--></code></pre>
+Remember to include trailing slashes (" />") in these lines if you're using XHTML.
+# For development, add the .showgrid class to any container or column to see the underlying grid. Check out the @plugins@ directory for more advanced functionality.
+
+
+h2. Tutorials

+* "How to use a baseline in your typography":http://alistapart.com/articles/settingtypeontheweb
+
+h2. Files in Blueprint
+
+The framework has a few files you should check out. Every file in the @src@ directory contains lots of (hopefully) clarifying comments.
+
+Compressed files (these go in the HTML):
+
+* @blueprint/screen.css@
+* @blueprint/print.css@
+* @blueprint/ie.css@
+
+Source files:
+* @blueprint/src/reset.css@<br/>
+This file resets CSS values that browsers tend to set for you.
+* @blueprint/src/grid.css@<br/>
+This file sets up the grid (it's true). It has a lot of classes you apply to @<div/>@ elements to set up any sort of column-based grid.
+* @blueprint/src/typography.css@<br/>
+This file sets some default typography. It also has a few methods for some really fancy stuff to do with your text.
+* @blueprint/src/forms.css@<br/>
+Includes some minimal styling of forms.
+* @blueprint/src/print.css@<br/>
+This file sets some default print rules, so that printed versions of your site looks better than they usually would. It should be included on every page.
+* @blueprint/src/ie.css@<br/>
+Includes every hack for our beloved IE6 and 7.
+
+Scripts:
+* @lib/compress.rb@<br/>
+A Ruby script for compressing and customizing your CSS. Set a custom namespace, column count, widths, output paths, multiple projects, and semantic class names. See commenting in @compress.rb@ or run @$ruby compress.rb -h@ for more information.
+* @lib/validate.rb@<br/>
+Validates the Blueprint core files with the W3C CSS validator.
+
+Other:
+* @blueprint/plugins/@<br/>
+Contains additional functionality in the form of simple plugins for Blueprint. See individual readme files in the directory of each plugin for further instructions.
+* @tests/@<br/>
+Contains html files which tests most aspects of Blueprint. Open @tests/index.html@ for further instructions.

+h1. Blueprint CSS Framework Tutorial
+
+Welcome to this tutorial on Blueprint. It will give you a thorough intro to what you can do with the framework, and a few notes on what you shouldn't do with it. Let's get started.
+
+h2. About Blueprint
+  
+Blueprint is a CSS framework, designed to cut down on your development time. It gives you a solid foundation to build your CSS on top of, including some sensible default typography, a customizable grid, a print stylesheet and much more.
+
+However, BP is not a silver bullet, and it's best suited for websites where each page may require its own design. Take a look at existing BP pages before deciding if the framework is right for you. You may also check out the test files in the @tests@ directory, which demonstrates most of the features in Blueprint.
+
+The word "framework" may be a bit misleading in this context, since BP does not make suggestions on how you should organize or write your CSS. It's more like a "css toolbox" with helpful bits and pieces, from which you may pick and choose based on your needs. 
+
+h2. Structural Overview
+		
+From the bottom up, here are the CSS layers in Blueprint:
+
+#	*CSS reset*: Removes any default CSS rules set by each browser.
+#	*Typography*: Gives you some nice default typography and colors.
+#	*Grid*: Provides a set of CSS classes for making grid layouts.
+
+The second part of Blueprint are the scripts, which let you customize most
+aspects of the framework, from column count and widths, to output paths and
+CSS class namespaces. We have two scripts:
+
+# *Compressor*: For compressing and customizing the source files.
+# *Validator*: 	For validating the Blueprint core files.
+
+That's the quick overview, so now we can finally get into the details. First, we'll take 
+a look at the CSS in Blueprint. We'll then move on to the scripts, where I'll show you 
+how to customize the framework.
+
+h2. Setting Up Blueprint
+
+To use Blueprint, you must include three files in your HTML:
+
+* @blueprint/screen.css@:	All CSS for screen, projection viewing.
+* @blueprint/print.css@: A basic stylesheet for printing.
+* @blueprint/ie.css@:	A few needed corrections for Internet Explorer
+
+To include them, use the following HTML (make sure the href paths are correct):
+<pre>
+  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blueprint/screen.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
+  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blueprint/print.css" type="text/css" media="print"> 
+  <!--[if lt IE 8]>
+    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blueprint/ie.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
+  <![endif]-->
+</pre>
+Remember to add trailing slashes if you're using XHTML (" />"). 
+
+h2. Using the CSS in Blueprint
+
+As mentioned before, there's basically three layers of CSS in Blueprint. The first two layers, the browser CSS reset and the default typography, apply themselves by changing the CSS of standard HTML elements. In other words, you don't need to change anything in these files. If you, for instance, want to change the font size, do this in your own stylesheet, so that it's easy to upgrade Blueprint when new versions arrive.
+
+h3. Classes for Typography
+	
+While the typography of Blueprint mainly applies itself, there's a few classes
+provided. Here's a list of their names and what they do:
+
+<dl>
+  <dt>@.small@</dt><dd>Makes the text of this element smaller.</dd>
+  <dt>@.large@</dt><dd>Makes the text of this element larger.</dd>
+  <dt>@.hide@</dt><dd>Hides an element.</dd>
+  <dt>@.quiet@</dt><dd>Tones down the font color for this element.</dd>
+  <dt>@.loud@</dt><dd>Makes this elements text black.</dd>
+  <dt>@.highlight@</dt><dd>Adds a yellow background to the text.</dd>
+  <dt>@.added@</dt><dd>Adds green background to the text.</dd>
+  <dt>@.removed@</dt><dd>Adds red background to the text.</dd>
+  <dt>@.first@</dt><dd>Removes any left sided margin/padding from the element.</dd>
+  <dt>@.last@</dt><dd>Removes any right sided margin/padding from the element.</dd>
+  <dt>@.top@</dt><dd>Removes any top margin/padding from the element.</dd>
+  <dt>@.bottom@</dt><dd>Removes any bottom margin/padding from the element.</dd>
+</dl>
+
+h3. Styling Forms
+				
+To make Blueprint style your input elements, each text input element should
+have the class @.text@, or @.title@, where @.text@ is the normal size,
+and @.title@ gives you an input field with larger text.
+
+There's also a few classes you may use for success and error messages:
+
+<dl>
+	<dt>@div.error@</dt><dd>Creates an error box (red).</dd>
+	<dt>@div.notice@</dt><dd>Creates a box for notices (yellow).</dd>
+	<dt>@div.success@</dt><dd>Creates a box for success messages (green).</dd>
+</dl>				
+
+h3. Creating a Grid
+
+The third layer is the grid CSS classes, which is the tool Blueprint gives you to create almost any kind of grid layout for your site. Keep in mind that most of the CSS behind the grid can be customized (explained below). In this section however, I'm using the default settings.
+
+The default grid is made up of 24 columns, each spanning 30px, with a 10px margin between each column. The total width comes to 950px, which is a good width for 1024x768 resolution displays. If you're interested in a narrower design, see the section on customizing the grid, below.
+
+So how do you set up a grid? By using classes provided by Blueprint. To create a column, make a new @<div/>@, and apply one of the @.span-x@ classes to it. For instance, if you want a 3-column setup, with two narrow and one wide column, a header and a footer here's how you do it:
+
+<pre>			
+  <div class="container">
+  	<div class="span-24">
+  		The header
+  	</div>
+
+  	<div class="span-4">
+  		The first column
+  	</div>
+  	<div class="span-16">
+  		The center column
+  	</div>
+  	<div class="span-4 last">
+  		The last column
+  	</div>
+	
+  	<div class="span-24">
+  		The footer
+  	</div>
+  </div>
+</pre>
+  			
+In addition to the spans, there are two important classes you need to know about. First of all, every Blueprint site needs to be wrapped in a div with the class @.container@, which is usually placed right after the body tag. 
+
+Second, the last column in a row (which by default has 24 columns), needs the class @.last@ to remove its left hand margin. Note, however, that each @.span-24@ don't need the @.last@ class, since these always span the entire width of the page.
+
+To create basic grids, this is all you need to know. The grid CSS however, provides many more classes for more intricate designs. To see some of them in action, check out the files in @tests/parts/@. These files demonstrate what's possible with the grid in Blueprint.
+
+Here's a quick overview of the other classes you can use in to make your grid:
+
+<dl>
+  <dt>@.append-x@</dt><dd>Appends x number of empty columns after a column.</dd>
+  <dt>@.prepend-x@</dt><dd>Preppends x number of empty columns before a column.</dd>
+  <dt>@.push-x@</dt><dd>Pushes a column x columns to the left. Can be used to swap columns.</dd>
+  <dt>@.pull-x@</dt><dd>Pulls a column x columns to the right. Can be used to swap columns.</dd>
+  <dt>@.border@</dt><dd>Applies a border to the right side of the column.</dd>
+  <dt>@.colborder@</dt><dd>Appends one empty column, with a border down the middle.</dd>
+  <dt>@.clear@</dt><dd>Makes a column drop below a row, regardless of space.</dd>
+	<dt>@.showgrid@</dt><dd>Add to container or column to see the grid and baseline.</dd>
+</dl>
+
+In this list, @x@ is a number from 1 through 23 for append/prepend and 1 through 24 for push/pull. These numbers will of course change if you set a new number of columns in the settings file. 
+
+Here's another example where we have four columns of equal width, with a border between the two first and the two last columns, as well as a four column gap in the middle:
+
+<pre>				
+	<div class="container">
+		<div class="span-5 border">
+			The first column
+		</div>
+		<div class="span-5 append-4">
+			The second column
+		</div>
+		<div class="span-5 border">
+			The third column
+		</div>
+		<div class="span-5 last">
+			The fourth (last) column
+		</div>
+	</div>
+</pre>				
+
+You may also nest columns to achieve the desired layout. Here's a setup where we want four rectangles with two on top and two below on the first half of the page, and one single column spanning the second half of the page:
+
+<pre>				
+	<div class="container">
+		<div class="span-12">
+			<div class="span-6">
+				Top left
+			</div>
+			<div class="span-6 last">
+				Top right
+			</div>
+			<div class="span-6">
+				Bottom left
+			</div>
+			<div class="span-6 last">
+				Bottom right
+			</div>
+		</div>
+		<div class="span-12 last">
+			Second half of page
+		</div>
+	</div>
+</pre>

+h2. The Scripts
+	
+Blueprint comes with two scripts: one for compressing and customizing the CSS, and one for validating the core CSS files, which is handy if you're making changes to these files.
+
+h3. The Validator
+				
+The validator has a fairly simple job - validate the CSS in the core BP files.  The script uses a bundled version of the W3C CSS validator to accomplish this.  To run it, you'll need to have Ruby installed on your machine. You can then run the script like so: @$ ruby validate.rb@.
+
+Note that there are a few validation errors shipping with Blueprint. These are known, and comes from a few CSS hacks needed to ensure consistent rendering across the vast browser field.
+		
+h3. The Compressor
+		
+As the files you'll include in your HTML are the compressed versions of the core CSS files, you'll have to recompress the core if you've made any changes.  This is what the compressor script is for.
+
+In addition this is where you customize the grid. To customize the grid, a special settings file is used, and the new CSS is generated once you run the compressor. The new compressed files will then reflect your settings file.
+
+To recompress, you just have to run the script. This will parse the core CSS files and output new compressed files in the blueprint folder. As with the validator, Ruby has to be installed to use this script. In the @lib@ directory, run: @$ruby compress.rb@
+
+Calling this file by itself will pull files from @blueprint/src@ and concatenate them into three files; @ie.css@, @print.css@, and @screen.css@. However, argument variables can be set to change how this works. Calling @$ruby compress.rb -h@ will reveal basic arguments you can pass to the script.
