I kind of like it. It would be nice to see examples of a couple of other 
pages as well. The menus are removed when the width of the page gets too 
small. I assume they're supposed to become a collapsed drop down menu 
like this: http://getbootstrap.com/examples/starter-template/

Try that with livereload as well. For CSS it doesn't need to reload the 
whole page, it just inserts the new CSS.
