Far as I'm aware there's nothing in Chrome to stop LESS working unless you disable JS, but that's the same as all other browsers. Generally speaking you should compile server-side (which it works in clients, it also slows them down a lot), however that does mean you need to get node.js and lessc installed. Compiling in the client is good for development, however I find I compile locally using the Mac OS X LESS.app - it just compiles automatically whenever I save a LESS file. The responsive stuff is not included by default because it increases the CSS size quite a bit and not everyone needs it. The way I work with bootstrap is I create my own 'root' LESS file that I use instead of the bootstrap.less file. This means I can change import order, comment options out etc without touching bootstrap source, so when bootstrap gets updated I can just replace all its files without losing any local changes. Something else you should learn ASAP is how to use version control, preferably git or subversion. Marcus
