WORDPRESS BOOTSTRAP

Twitter’s bootstrap ( http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap) in WordPress theme form. Using Eddie Machado’s Bones for a starting point ( https://github.com/eddiemachado/bones).
FEATURES

We’ve built the WordPress Bootstrap theme so that it could be used as-is or as a starting point for theme developers. It’s built on top of the brilliant Bones theme framework by Eddie Machado and based on v2.0 of Twitter’s Bootstrap.
Here’s what we’ve got so far. Watch this project on Github to keep up with some enhancements we’re developing.
Responsive

We’ve built this with a responsive approach. This will look good on everything from mobile to desktop.
Page Templates

We’ve packaged four different page templates into this theme.

- Homepage template (seen on the homepage of this site)
- Standard page with right sidebar (this page)
- Page with left sidebar
- Full width page

Theme Options Panel

Want to change some colors? Want the top nav to scroll with the content? Hide the search box in the top nav? Do it all in our options panel.
Shortcodes

We’ve built in some shortcodes so you can easily add UI elements found in Twitter Bootstrap.
Sidebars

We’ve built in two different sidebars. One for the homepage and one for the other pages. Add widgets to your heart’s content.
