 * Hello everyone!
 * I’m using (or trying to use) Roots Theme to make a website.
    Quite frankly, I
   don’t seem to get how to edit the template files… Like _index.php_ or _front-
   page.php_… they only have a few lines of code.
 * Basically, I have a mock-up built with Twitter Bootstrap and I want to convert
   it to wordpress.
 * Any help? Thanks

 * Take a look on the Roots Google Group, [here](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/roots-theme),
   they have a lot of info there and plenty of activity.
 * The Roots theme works slightly differently to many ‘conventional’ WP themes in
   that it makes heavy use of the get_template_part function to ‘stitch’ together
   different modular sections to form each page on your site.
 * I’ve always been a bit surprised that more themes aren’t structured like this
   but I know quite a few peeps have trouble getting their head round it because
   they are used to a different way. You have to think about building your site 
   in a modular way and then stitching it together, it’s cool when you get used 
   to it!

 * yeah, it seems organized in a cool way. I’m taking a look and want to get deeper.
   Always learning!
    thank you very much, veryfizzyjelly!
