Can I use Bootstrap in conjunction with my own CSS?

Hi

Just have a quick question. In these videos Guil Hernandez uses all of the classes from Bootstrap. Am I allowed to add my own custom classes and styling in addition to Bootstraps classes?

Thanks, Harish

Yes. You will want to put your additions in a separate file and link it below the bootstrap.css link. Then you can add your own classes and/or overwrite the Bootstrap classes in your own file.

Thanks so much for your help Guil Hernandez :). Also, in your opinion do you recommend using Bootstrap or do you think it's better to use custom CSS?
