 * Copy the default theme folder. Rename it to something like ‘mytheme’ (without
   the single quotes). Edit style.css within this new folder and change:
 * `Theme Name: WordPress Default`
 * to
 * `Theme Name: My Theme`
 * Your customised theme will now be available within Admin/Appearance/Themes and
   won’t be over-written when you next upgrade.
