    Hello,

    I am trying to make my own wordpress theme. The strange thing is that when I activate my theme in wordpress, it does not show anything when i visit the site. Really nothing! The page is just white, and when I show the source code is all blank – NOTHING!?

    I run WordPress 3.8 on a local MAMP PRO web server on my MAC.

    Here is all my files:

    style.css:

    /*
Theme Name: Stine
Theme URI: http://www.url.com/
Description:
Author: Ian Myhre
Author URI: http://www.url.com/
Version: 1.0

	'description' => 'The second top bar',
	'before_widget' => '<div>',
	'after_widget' => '</div>'
));

    As you can see this is just a start on my theme, but the whole process stops since I can`t get it to work. I really hope that some of you can help me fix the bug so I can go forward with building my own wordpress theme!

    Thnx guys! 🙂
