    Might try the Introducing Thirty Ten – guide to creating a Twenty Ten Child Theme link under the resources section of Child Themes.

    I got it, Thanks MichaelH.

    everything seems to be working fine with my child theme. Thanks for your guidance.

    One thing I have trouble with is the hove background of the Nav menu.

    This is in the parent CSS:

    #access li:hover > a,
    #access ul ul :hover > a {
    color:#fff;
    background:#333;

    In my child theme CSS, I have this:

    #access li:hover > a,
    #access ul ul :hover > a {
    color:#fff;
    /*background:#333;*/

    In other words, in my child theme, I striked out the hover background.

    But still, it showing up!!

    It’s not overriding the parent CSS.

    But all other elements I have in the child theme CSS are overriding the parent CSS as expected.

    How can I get rid of the hpver background?

    Please guide. Thanks

    You probably need to use some overriding value:
    background:#fff;

    Hi MichaelH,

    In my chid theme CSS, from the following element:
    #access li:hover > a,
    #access ul ul :hover > a {
    color:#fff;
    background:#333;

    When I replace “background:#333;” with the “background:#fff;” (as you suggested), then the hover background gets simply changed from “#333” to “#fff”!! That’s all. The hover background #333 does not go away.

    What I want to do is get rid of the hover background. Tha’s the reason I first I tried to strike out the default “background:#333;”.

    But, for some reason the hover background #333 does not get striked out as it should. Is this a bug?

    Any more suggestions that will get rid of the hover background #333.

    Thanks again for your help.
