Joomla 3 template and bootstrap

So, after making a nice template the same as I'd done in Joomla 2.5, there are some slight differences when you log onto the front-end. Noticably that the cute little icons of yesterday are gone.

Reading into it, there's this new thing called BootStrap. Very good once you get the hang of it. I found a nice tutorial on it here

The main things to do to get bootstrap are:

  1. In the index.php file for your template, right at the top include (tutorial here):
    1. $doc = JFactory::getDocument();
    2. $doc->addStyleSheet($this->baseurl . '/media/jui/css/bootstrap.min.css');
  2. Secondly, make sure the including your stylesheets here
)

Just be sure to override stuff in your template when it pops up.
