    I am trying to create a twentyten child theme. I have created a new folder in my wp-content/themes folder called aphdesign and created a new css file within that:

    [mod: please read the forum guidelines for posting code]

    @import url('../twentyten/style.css');
    "
    /*
    Theme Name: aphdesign
    Theme URI: http://www.aph-design.com/blog
    Description: Twentyten child-theme for APH Design
    Author: Amy Pearce Hamlet
    Version: 0.0.1
    Template: twentyten
    Tags: two-columns, right-sidebar, custom-header, custom-colors, custom-background, custom-menu, theme-options, threaded-comments, sticky-post, translation-ready, microformats, rtl-language-support, editor-style
    */
    "
    When I go to dashboard, manage themes a new theme appears with this information below it:
    APH Design Theme 1 by Amy Pearce Hamlet

    This is my WordPress Theme template — WordPress v3.0.1
    Activate | Preview | Delete

    All of this theme’s files are located in /themes/BLANK-Theme.

    and when I preview it, it has no styles applied to it, just plain text.

    You need to put the @import line after the header, but before any new styles you add yourself.

    oops never mind for some reason the blank theme was over-riding the child theme
