LESS - Two starter questions (compiling options & combinations with CSS)

biotech

I want to start using LESS instead of regular CSS. I've been reading the last hours about it and it seems great, but I am still unsure how I should run/use it. That's why I have some questions:[*]I've read that using less.js to compile on the client side is bad. This seems plausible. I've also read that you can compile on the server side using node.js. Node.js requires Python, but as I only have a hosting account (and not an own server), Python isn't available. So I took a look into Less.app which compiles \[code\].less\[/code\] files to \[code\].css\[/code\]. Is there anything bad about using less-files for development, then compiling it into `.css and uploading that onto the online-server (and of course linking to that file)? The less-files don't need to be online using that method, right?[*]I am using a Wordpress naked-template as a starting point. This template is created without LESS. That means I have a \[code\].css\[/code\] file which e.g. includes a CSS-reset. Should I just copy these "normal CSS" lines into the \[code\].less\[/code\] file?
