Hi Herbie,
Please forgive me if this comes across as condescending but
I think once you get a good grasp of the classes .span, .row, .offset & how
they work together - this will help you loads.
In my opinion the best way to learn is looking at the code from the
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/scaffolding.html examples & through trial and error.

Hello

I'm impressed about bootstrap and like to make my next project with this toolkit. I do not really understand where to start or what to tweek for building the template for my layout. I have the development environment (less etc) working and understand how to use it.

Please take a look at the attached screenshot. The layout over all is centered with 1006px width, some gradients to the left and right, the navigation on the left side is 296px. Have I to fiddle with those @grid values? I like to benefit from most of the features of bootstrap and I found no good tutorial or step by step explanation.

Your help is much appreciated
best regards Herbie
