 ### Normalize
 
 For improved cross-browser rendering, we use [Normalize.css](http://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/) to correct small inconsistencies across browsers and devices.

-### Containers
-
-Bootstrap requires a containing element to wrap site contents and house our grid system. You may choose one of two containers to use in your projects. Note that, due to `padding` and more, neither container is nestable.

+Bootstrap requires a containing element to wrap site contents and house our grid system. You may choose from one of two containers—fixed width or fluid width—to use in your projects.
+
+Containers *can* be nested, but be aware that most layouts don't require it.
+
+Use `.container` for a responsive fixed width container. This will center content withing the viewport and apply the appropriate `width` for a given device size.

+{% highlight html %}
+<div class="container">

+
+Use `.container-fluid` for a full width container, spanning the entire width of the viewport.
