Hey guys

Claudia — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 02:52:02 +0000

I just wanted to say this class has been really awesome, and you all are a great group. I know I will probably be an allusive senior next semester and not around too much, but do not hesitate to say hi or whatever. You’re all great and super fun.

Thanks and hope you all enjoy intersession! Catch up on sleep. Seriously.

Copy template, change appropriate data, e.g.

Author: Your name here
Template: twentyeleven
*/

@import url("../twentyeleven/style.css");

{css content follows}

Install FireBug in Firefox: http://getfirebug.com/
Inspect elements, adjust CSS accordingly in style.css (don’t forget class/id differences).
Place new stylesheet in folder: wp-content/themes/childthemename/style.css
Enable new theme under appearance.
Edit changes as you develop them through COMMAND+K while in CyberDuck. When you save, the results should be reflected on your site.

Child Themes

bigbabygenius — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:37:01 +0000

Follow these instructions:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Make a style.css file and put it in a subfolder within the themes folder…

Modify the bolded stuff to match your site!

Whatever you modify will trump anything on the original theme…

/*
Theme Name: Twentyeleven Child
Description: Child theme for the twentyeleven theme
Author: Your name here
Template: twentyeleven
*/@import url(“../twentyeleven/style.css”);

#site-title a {
color: #009900;
}
