+##Layout & CSS##
+I use a [grid system devised by Adam Kaplan](http://www.adamkaplan.me/grid/) and
+with some pieces from [Jorden Lev](http://jordanlev.github.io/grid/). It is
+set-up by scratch in my `main.css`. I decided on this so that I would not have
+to load a huge framework like Bootstrap since I would only be using the grid
+system out of it.
+
+As an introduction to this system:
+
+1. Wrap everything in a div element with the `container` class.
+
+'''html
+<div class="container"></div>
+'''
+
+2. To create rows add div elements with the `row` and `clearfix` classes.
+
+'''html
+<div class="container">
+    <div class="row clearfix"></div>
+</div>
+'''
+
+2. To create columns add div elements with the `column` class. Then add a class
+to describe the width of the column with respect to the container. The possible
+widths are:
+
+* full: 100% width
+* two-thirds: 66.7% width
+* half: 50% width
+* third: 33.3% width
+* fourth: 25% width
+* three-fourths: 75% width
+
+These are purely for convienence. A more precise width can be specified in the
+CSS if desired with the `width` attribute.
+
+'''html
+<div class="container">
+    <div class="row clearfix">
+        <div class="column full"></div>
+    </div>
+</div>
+'''
+
+3. Columns stack up right to left. To force a column out of order all the way to
+the right use the `flow-opposite` class on the column.
+
+'''html
+<div class="container">
+    <div class="row clearfix">
+        <div class="column half"></div>
+        <div class="column half flow-opposite"></div>
+    </div>
+</div>
+'''
+
+4. To hide an element on mobile phones add the class `hide-mobile`. To hide on
+desktop, use `hide-desktop` instead.
+
+'''html
+<div class="container">
+    <div class="row clearfix">
+        <div class="column half hide-mobile"></div>
+        <div class="column half hide-desktop"></div>
+    </div>
+</div>
+'''
+
+5. Another note: I use [box-sizing (as suggested by Paul
+Irish)](http://www.paulirish.com/2012/box-sizing-border-box-ftw/), which I think
+makes dealing with sizing elements a lot more sane.
