Roots is a starting WordPress theme made for developers that’s based on HTML5 Boilerplate and Bootstrap from Twitter.

• Clone the git repo - git clone git://github.com/retlehs/roots.git - or download it

Edit inc/config.php to enable support for major functionality and to define constants that are used throughout the theme.

• Bootstrap from Twitter
• Root relative URLs
• Clean URLs (no more /wp-content/)
