   Dear WordPressers,

   I wanted to start a child theme for Pinboard but it doesn't seem to work.
   I followed the directions from WordPress, http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes, and it looks like i took the right steps.
   Unfortunately when i go to themes, it gives the following error message:

   The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
   Name Description
   2012_child_munz Stylesheet is missing.

   This is the css code i've used:
   /*
   Theme Name: Pinboard child
   Theme URI: http://munzmedia.nl/
   Description: Child theme for Pinboard
   Author: Steven Munzebrock
   Template: pinboard
   */

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

   Does anyone has an idea what i'm doing wrong?

   Thanx in advance!
   Steven

   Same same here.

   Read the codex, followed the host gator tutorials, read the help forums, tried saving code from text editor Notepad in unicode, and ansi, and then uploading, and then repasting, and then just typing in manually in cpanel file editor. No joy.

   After two weeks on this, I'm finding I'm not a rocket scientist after all. Please help!
