-    <p class="lead">Don't want your site or application to be scaled on different devices? With a little bit of work, you can disable the responsive features of Bootstrap so that mobile users see your full desktop-version site. Read below or check out <a href="../examples/non-responsive/">the non-responsive example</a>.</p>

-      <li>Remove (or just don't add) the viewport <code>&lt;meta&gt;</code> mentioned in <a href="../css/#overview-mobile">the CSS docs</a></li>
-      <li>Remove the <code>max-width</code> on the <code>.container</code> for all grid tiers with <code>max-width: none !important;</code> and set a regular width like <code>width: 970px;</code>. Be sure that this comes after the default Bootstrap CSS. You can optionally avoid the <code>!important</code> with media queries or some selector-fu.</li>
-      <li>If using navbars, undo all the navbar collapsing and expanding behavior (this is too much to show here, so peep the example).</li>
-      <li>For grid layouts, make use of <code>.col-xs-*</code> classes in addition to or in place of the medium/large ones. Don't worry, the extra-small device grid scales up to all resolutions, so you're set there.</li>
