Hmm… Is it free? 

When I clicked Download, it wanted me to login. Since I get emails from them, I 
figured I was registered. Entered a UN/PW and was told my account was locked 
(inactive). Neither the DMXzone Bootstrap page nor a site search yielded any 
recourse to that. So the free extension seems out of reach. For me.

 
The rest is about a responsive theme for WordPress. Many here will want to stop 
reading at this point.

My DMXzone problem doesn't matter too much, since I am an early convert to 
Sterling - a premium WordPress theme ($55) available through ThemeForest. It's 
fully responsive, surprises me constantly with a ton of options, and has an 
interface that keeps me out of behind-the-scenes files and theme code mods. 
(Comes with a sample child theme.) Programmers may not appreciate that it gives 
this designer what seems like full control without asking me to code. (Though 
coding is offered as an option for advanced purposes.) I appreciate it big 
time. 

Has 15 training videos (both helpful and accessible, with audio track), more 
HTML doc, and a support forum where my half dozen questions (some to do with 
how it would work IF I bought it, before I bought it - and some along the lines 
of here's what I want to do, how can I best do it?) were all answered within 
one day. Average time of response was about 4 hours. Support techs elsewhere 
sometimes find my questions too broad; not so here.

One question was: how can I create 20 or so individual divs or areas of content 
to display them all on one webpage. The answer was: the content blocks short 
code should make this a breeze. Here's a link. 

Another question was: I want to include a site search that doesn't just return 
a text listing of matching words, but instead builds a page of those content 
blocks that contain the searched for words. The answer was: that will require 
some customization of WordPress and/or the Sterling theme. Normally we'd be 
glad to discuss our services in doing that for you. But we're hard at work on 
new versions for 2 of our themes. Here are links to 2 programmers we've worked 
with and trust. 

If I've gushed here, let me finish with the usual: no connection with them 
other than being a recent customer.
