Bootstrap - row can I have columns add up to more then 12?

Question

I was wondering if my nested row can add up to more then 12? Is it wrong to work this way?

I tried it and it seems to work fine for me, but I want to make sure that I am doing this right.

For an example can I have this?

<div class="col-md-10">
 <div class="container">
  <div class="row">   
   <div class="col-md-3"> ... </div>
   <div class="col-md-3"> ... </div>
   <div class="col-md-3"> ... </div>
   <div class="col-md-3"> ... </div>
   <div class="col-md-3"> ... </div>
   <div class="col-md-3"> ... </div>
   <div class="col-md-3"> ... </div>
   <div class="col-md-3"> ... </div>
  </div>
 </div>
</div>

Yes, it's ok to have more that 12 columns in a row It will just make the extra columns wrap to the next line. So, with your example you'd have 2 rows of 4.

From the Bootstrap docs (http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid)..

"If more than 12 columns are placed within a single row, each group of extra columns will, as one unit, wrap onto a new line"

Also, here are some examples that show using more than 12 columns (col-*) in a single row: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-example-mixed

Just be aware of responsive resets if the columns vary in height. Read more about when to use Bootstrap row
