I want to use 960.gs for a post layout on my website (4 columns). I like the ease of use, but it looks monotonous with the top and bottom of grid boxes lining up. Instead of the normal grid design, is there a way to make it more staggered like this site? http://bygonebureau.com
Notice how the bottom margins on the posts don’t align.
That particular site uses jQuery masonry to arrange articles like that. Grid systems like 960 dont allow for this because they rely on set ‘rows’, each of which has a clearfix applied so that they never overlap.
I would probably suggest you build the base layout of the site using a grid system, and simply follow the code examples in masonry for how to get that staggered boxes effect.
