I hope you do not mind if I ask a general questions regarding bootstrap and WordPress.
I have created a website using just bootstrap. I am trying to set up an Appointment Booking System on it. I know that in WordPress there is a good plugin for this that would work well.
I have two questions regarding the above statement.
Is there a way that I can keep my customized bootstrap theme and integrate a WordPress plug in into my site without having to build the site from scratch in WordPress.
2) Is there a way to load my bootstrap code into the WordPress portal (so it is a customized bootstrap site) but that I would be able to use all of the available WordPress plugins.
Thanks
Colm.
Unfortunatly, if you want to use your custom html you need to create a custom WordPress theme. By the way, this is not difficult at all, and if you have already your static files setted up, splitting them in a theme is almost straigth forward.
Before stepping into it and start trying some good starter blank themes (underscores, timber, root etc..) my advice is: follow a simple guide and learn core WordPress theme hierarchy, then you'll be able to do almost anything.
This is the first guid I found but - ehi - Google is your best friend!

Most "regular" websites I've seen generally use Twitter Bootstrap, at least for the grid layout.
Most themes I've seen to WordPress does not use Bootstrap, they are often built with a custom grid layout.
Is Wordpress + bootstrap a bad solution? Or why do so few Wordpress themes use bootstrap?
I'd agree with most of the comments, but I'd argue that this is NOT an opinion based question. There's nothing empirically WRONG or BAD about using Bootstrap in WordPress themes. In fact, I do it every single work day. Sage theme is a popular starter theme that uses Bootstrap, and there's plenty others that do as well.
The technologies are perfectly compatible, it's ultimately just up to your design / development goals for the theme. If you desire finer control and don't want to do a bunch of style overrides for a very specific look-and-feel, then maybe Bootstrap isn't right for that particular project. However, there's nothing from the WordPress side of things that would make this a bad solution.
I have question to people who had experience with Magento and Bootstrap. I was looking for some information how to integrate Bootstrap to Magento, but it did't helped me. I working right now on project that should be created on Bootstrap framework. So my questions is how to integrate bootstrap to magento right? So I can get bootstrap.css files that not mix with my own style.
I know that Boilerplate mix style with magento and code is too long, so I would happy to use it.
There are flew blog available where explain the how bootstrap and magento integrated.

I am working on a blog redesign and I am well acquainted with responsive design. I am not so familiar with wordpress though, so I am thinking of using twitter bootstrap. My question is, if I customize my stylesheets and other files(like header.php etc) can a bootstrap update erase all my changes? What would be the bets way to keep bootstrap as a base and building from there? I have my design specs from a designer, so I have to customize or build from scratch.
I am working on a site which has a RapidWeaver Theme ( f_fusion ). But I am more of a developer than a designer. Is there any way for us to convert a RapidWeaver theme easily to a Drupal6 theme so that all the styling remains the same ?
Yes, it's possible, particularly if you're a developer since it's really a question of taking the HTML & CSS from the RapidWeaver Theme and placing Drupal variables in it.

When you know how to create a basic theme structure, you should learn how to modify the page.tpl.php file to start with, after that it will of course depends on the specifics of your site but you definitely should be on your way.
