Bootstrap is to build stuff out of, not for any specific implementation, so yes you could use it to build a wordpress template, but you could use also use it to create one for Drupal, Rails or anything else you happen to want to use. Bootstrap mainly provides a nice clean set of HTML markup structures and conventions coupled with some elegant CSS rules; it's wildly popular from a dev point of view as it means you don't have to think too hard about the basics as it's all ready to go, providing an excellent starting point with zero effort, hence the name. To answer your question more directly, there will be bootstrap-based templates for pretty much any blogging platform worth mentioning. That said, wordpress is an extremely poor example to follow if you're thinking of designing a blogging platform! Marcus
