 * I want to integrate Layout Engine into my Themefuse cloudhost child theme I Think
   I understand the demo theme. I having a problem with twenty_eleven.php and my
   theme is this just a name change or do I need this for my them? could someone
   give me a tip or the code I should use for my theme. Themefuse has a framework
   with a folder call extensions and I have made all the class calls in the theme
   bootstrap.php of my theme.
    Thanks`

 * No, twenty_eleven.php is demonstration to inherit functionality offered by Twenty
   Eleven to compose date, author link etc. The theme you downloaded is not a child
   theme therefore I have to copy the functions into a separate file. It might be
   completely irrelevant to your theme. So you can simply ignore it.
 * The idea of WordPress Layout Engine is simple, convert every block of html through
   dynamic_block(), as demonstrated in header/index/footer.php in [getting started theme](http://simpleux.co.uk/plugins/wordpress/layout-engine/download/le-twentyeleven.zip).
   The dynamic_block will use .row, .span4, .span8, .span12 css classes to create
   a div row and columns in a layout, so your theme must have these classes or you
   can just copy the [grid.css](https://raw.github.com/simpleux/le-twentyeleven/master/grid.css)
   into your theme or import into your style.css or style.less
    The third important
   point during integration is to override any layout define in parent theme as 
   demonstrated in following simple child theme. (have a look on category.php, page.
   php) [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/layout-engine-base.1.1.zip?nostats=1](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/layout-engine-base.1.1.zip?nostats=1)
 * The LessCSS support is to simplify the process of theme’s branding using css.
 * Hopefully it helps.
