Thanks for the feedback guys. @Malyo you are right. I forgot about the 10px gutters and so that might be just what I need to fit in the ribbons. I also was told that maybe I could make the ribbons display: absolute and remove it from the grid altogether, which sounds like that would make it a lot easier. @Renaissance -Design i'll look at this grid more closely when I am done designing. Thanks!

Hi All - I am in the process of designing my website in the hopes that I can learn how to do this effectively. I wanted to start my first site on the 960 grid system because it seems like a great way to start when learning CSS. I'm hoping to get someones opinion on setting the boundary of my grid system. Right now I have a nav bar that wraps around my website container along with another ribbon wrap at the bottom. And the ribbons are throwing me off. *I know this photo is on the right side and that my grid starts from the left, but pretend it was on the left. My question is, where should I start my grid system? Does it start to include the ribbon or does it start at the container? I've included some photos of what I am currently doing by including the ribbon in the grid. Is this right or should I start the first grid with the container? Thanks for the help guys! -Dan
