+By using the following ruby libraries
+
+'bootstrap-sass' 'compass'
+
+gem install bootstrap-sass 
+gem install compass
+
+I have set up this project to use the CSS compilation tool Compass.
+
+and to be able to compile and minify our own SASS, allowing us to cache and have greater control over our styling with mixins and extensions.
+
+I have changed the config.rb file to work with our existing directory structure.
+
+The main.sass file located in the sass folder is (mostly) identical to how main.css was before.
+
+I have been editting the enhancements.sass file which is pulled into the CSS after.
+
+compass compile
+
+to output the updated css/main.css
+
+to ease development, you can run compass watch and everytime a CSS file is editted it will automatically recompile.
+
+minifiying can be specified at compile time via the CLI or ahead of time in the config.rb file.
+
+I also use the html language 'haml'.  My haml file and a script that will compile it into html are in the haml folder.  this script automatically deletes and replaces index.html so be warned!!
