In that part of the series, I explained how to convert H2 and H3 HTML headers into elegant elements by assigning to them the "thin" and "caps" CSS classes provided by default by BlueTrip.
Logically, this process was demonstrated for example purposes, since you're free to apply these classes to all of the text-based elements of a web page, not just a few HTML headers. It's valid to stress, though, that BlueTrip also comes with a handy set of three predefined classes, called "success," "notice" and "error" respectively, for informing users about the occurrence of these specific events in a visual and appealing manner.

In summary, in this last part of the series I'm going to take a close look at these CSS classes and at how to use them in concrete cases. Now, let's get rid of the preliminaries and conclude this educational study of the BlueTrip CSS framework. Let's go!
