Simple, clear, and clean

Thanks a lot for this theme, who is boostraping any project. you code is clean, simple and clean. No more, no less, all a developper need to create a custom them is on it.

There is just a problem of compatibility with a couple of plugins, but not sure the theme is in the cause, more the plugin (like Easy Bootstrap Shortcode). the problem is if you use this plugin, on dropdown menu of your nav, after you click, the menu disappear (update display:none).

Anyway, i tested all similar theme, this one is the most interesting ! Thanks to do it and maintain it. Mike
