OT: WordPress Approach to Responsive Theming

[Keith Smith]

Hi James,

All great suggestions and have done all of them.  What I am trying to 
figure out is what is the accepted way to make a theme responsive.  Is 
there a favorite framework such as Foundation or BootStrap... etc in the 
WordPress community.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover WordPress now has several 
handbooks.  https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/getting-started/  No 
mention of making a theme responsive.  Lots of info out there just not 
anything that leads me to understand the "WordPress Way" of making a 
theme responsive.

Thank you so much for your help!!

Keith
