Gosh, I wonder why I had to search for these instructions…
I released Bootstrapwp, a powerful base WordPress theme powered by Bootstrap. Bootstrap is a responsive frontend toolkit from Twitter designed to kickstart web development, complete with core HTML, CSS, and JS for grids, type, forms, navigation, and many more components. Now you can use it with WordPress as a solid base to build custom themes quickly and easily.
Latest version release: .6 (12/24/2011)

What most people don’t realize is that they’re asking the wrong question. You see, sites don’t rank: pages rank. If you want to rank for a keyword, you’ll need to determine which page is going to be the page ranking for that keyword.

Good feedback relates back to goals and user needs. Bad feedback is subjective and prescriptive.
For example “There’s way too much going on here and the “Add to Cart” button gets lost.” That’s excellent feedback. Relates to the goal of the page, which is to apparently sell something, and communicates a problem to be solved, which is to get rid of all the junk on the page.
Avoid personal preferences: “I hate green.” There is absolutely nothing I can do with that statement other than feel sorry for you because there are some very nice green things in the world. Like money—which you’re now wasting by giving me bad feedback.
Prescriptive feedback comes along the lines of “Move the buttons over here.” And, of course, everyone’s favorite: “Make the logo bigger!” These may, in fact, be excellent ideas, but if we talked about the problems

The office space I share with a few other companies has a sweet view of the city of Chicago. One of the newest occupants, Brad Wilkening of DevMynd, setup a camera and captured the activity outside 1608 N. Milwaukee.
Finding this API Action and Filter Hooks reference for BuddyPress and bbPress very helpful for a current project.
When building the new WordPress theme for this site, I wanted it to be responsive to the various device sizes and resolutions visitors were using to read my posts. Testing a website in the latest release of the major desktop browsers is hard enough, testing the different screen sizes and resolutions for mobile phones and tablets was utterly painful.
I have tried many different online services for responsive
