Ugh, dumb Question, nevermind. Saves the work of converting old stylesheets. That makes terrific amounts of sense, actually. Sorry for idiocy, and have a nice evening!

This should come in handy, thanks for sharing.
One thing has me wondering, though: Why should anyone convert CSS to LESS, as opposed to starting out with LESS in the first place? If one does not use LESS, converting ones stylesheets to it makes no sense. Then again, if one uses LESS, one has probably set up a solution to compile LESS to CSS. So what is that site good for, am I missing something?
