Is there a way to make the shortcode grids responsive to stack vertically like widgets as the browser width changes?

13,704 PointsBootstrap ought to be inherently responsive. Try switching the class on the columns to "col-sm-3" and see if columns stack. The columns in the video were given the class "col-xs-3" which means that they will maintain a width of 1/4 of their container at ALL screen sizes, even if they become too small to fit their content nicely.
I think the moral of the story is that using just the "col-xs-3" class is not practical to display text at small screen sizes. A combination of classes like "col-sm-3 col-xs-6" works a bit better.

They accept every class bootstrap has to offer as well as you being able to add your own classes to them for unique stying at the point of entry in the Admin Area!
The only reason im posting this is for other to see and harness the power of bootstrap right there in the shortcode :)
