    I read and tried to understand about making child themes, but still don’t get it. Guess if you’re technically inclined then it’s easy, but this is not my forte. Is there an easier way?

    Not really. The other option is to edit TwentyTen directly, and that would be a BAD idea, since you would lose your changes if the theme upgraded. Which it may.

    Making a child theme isn’t that hard.

    Make a folder in the themes folder, call it ‘2010-child’

    Make a style.css and ALL it needs is this:

    /*
    Theme Name: TwentyTen Child
    Description: Child theme for the twentyten theme
    Author: Your name here
    Template: twentyten
    */
    
    @import url("../twentyten/style.css");

    THEN copy the file you want to change into your 2010-child folder and edit it there.

    See? You can totally do this 🙂 It’s just editing files, no code needed.

    You could just use the <– more –> tag in your post, it will display the content up to that point. Or

    I have a step by step guide here to create a child theme (basically what Ipstenu and esmi suggested), but it should be very easy to follow http://zeaks.org/child-theme-basics/
