+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.
