I started my little “todo” list in backbone (it is a rule that you have to create a todo list for your initial foray into backbone, apparently) and I decided to use Twitter Bootstrap. I like that it has a nice, clean look, but I also don’t like that I see it used in every example. Pretty soon every site on the net will look the same, and I don’t necessarily think that is a good thing…

I wanted to add a “delete” icon, and it was really simple. however, I think that a delete icon should be red. Unfortunately bootstrap doesn’t work this way. I did a quick google and found a post on StackOverflow about using bootstrap and colored icons. The marked answer mentions Font Awesome.

Font Awesome is… well, awesome! It uses @font-face so you can use CSS to style the icons. Ima ’bout to get on that right now…
