| <p>Going beyond light customizations and into visual overhauls is just as straightforward as the above custom button. For a site like <a href="http://yourkarma.com">Karma</a>, which uses Bootstrap as a CSS reset with heavy modifications, more extensive work is involved, but well worth it in the end.</p> | ||
| <p>Once you are comfortable performing light customizations, visual overhauls are just as straightforward. For a site like <a href="http://yourkarma.com">Karma</a>, which uses Bootstrap as a CSS reset with heavy modifications, more extensive work is involved. But the same principle applies: invoke Bootstrap's default stylesheet first, then invoke your custom stylesheets.</p> |

"include" would make more sense than "invoke", IMO. CSS isn't a programming language per se.

Need to remove the dot here too.

Done (sorry I missed that. Found another actually.)

Providing a screenshot of the final product would be nice. |

Here you go, well, 90% of it. My capture tool doesn't scroll from an arbitrary point. |

It looks nice. |
I'd like to further develop this section, building upon its latest state, in a new branch. In other words, basic cleanup (this PR) first, then its extension with more advanced workflows, which are surely a separate discussion from this first-pass cleanup. |

There's still much to add to the "Customizing bootstrap" section. This is just a starter: normalizing what's already there for readability, keeping non-native speakers in-mind. In some places I added minor clarifications.
Notable changes here:
Looking forward, we should distinguish between 'Customizing Bootstrap'" (modify and extend as in this section), and "Customize and download" (theming and cherry-picking components and features with the wizard.)
