Template Details
This template is a blog homepage HTML starter template made by Start Bootstrap for the Bootstrap framework, with the repository and online demo publicly available. The page structure centers on a blog homepage, including common sections such as post lists, sidebars, and pagination, suitable as a starting point for a static blog homepage.
Usage has two levels: basic usage only requires editing the HTML and CSS files in the dist directory and opening index.html in a browser to preview; advanced usage involves cloning the source code and running npm install and npm start, building from Pug, SCSS, and JS source files to dist via npm scripts, with support for local preview and live refresh. The build environment requires npm installed locally.
Regarding licensing, the repository uses the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code, provided the copyright notice and license statement are retained when distributing. Third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons need to be checked separately for their respective licenses; external services such as domains and hosting may incur separate charges.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies HTML as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
