    freshnoob has it right. just eyeball it. If you need to codify things for consistency across multiple pages, bang out your ideal layouts for a few pages, look for the commonality between them and adjust to bring them all into a cohesive grid. The grid is just a guideline, your content should drive layout choice.

    I find that when a page is 'working' freestyle, the ratios tend to be near to the golden section or rule of thirds anyways. I think we're hard-wired for natural ratios like that and intuitively produce them in our work. Measuring first seems like it would limit your decision making and stifle creativity.
