## Further Customization
To make things easier I use LESS to build Minimal Mistakes' stylesheets. If you want to make some minor cosmetic alterations, take a look at `variables.less` in `assets/less/`. Changing some of the following variables can help make the theme your own. Just compile `main.less` and `ie.less` using your preprocessor of choice and off you go --- I like [CodeKit](http://incident57.com/codekit/) and [Prepros](http://alphapixels.com/prepros/).
