problem with custom theme css file (3 posts)

    I'm building a custom design for a site and copied the default theme folder, renamed it, and am beginning to modify the css file. The problem is the new theme (which shows up in the Presentation > Themes) isn't finding the location of the copied CSS file that I'm modifying. The code is identical to what the default was:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

    What else do I need to do to get the path correct? FYI, I know very little PHP so the more detail anyone can provide me, the better. Thanks.

    You have to add this:

    /*
    Theme Name:
    Theme URI:
    Description:
    Version:
    Author:
    Author URI:
    */

    on the top of your css file.
