Readme should include how to mod rules - or recommendation for styleint #179

This question was closed without answer, but the need behind the question is real: how the customizing works isn't immediately clear.

I see this - which I understand means if I do a local install I can probably customize that? image

I found a few cases (example) of someone recommending a different tool.

Digging deeper still I found that for some it seems to work if they create a .csslintrc file in the same directory as the CSS saying things like --ignore=ids,font-sizes,unique-headings

I think a lot of people are coming from codecademy or various coding games with linting - without much prior computer science or web dev background, and CSSLint is still the dominant recommendation that shows up in articles etc. - and is easy to install initially.

It's hugely popular - and many people are still using it, so if there is a way that works for customizing, could we add an explanation for how to the README.md?

Then again, while searching here I noticed the mentions for styleint were as common as ignore (almost 20 each) - also styleint has >100k people using it as atom extension, too. Maybe it really would be better to switch.

Either way, it took me way too long to figure all this out. Would be neat if this was somehow clear from the project's read me.

Edit: trying styleint now.
