 * I am using a child theme based on the Responsive theme. I want the header to 
   look like the Spasalon theme. I have just started learning php so I get easily
   stumped. I already tried adding the header.php from Spasalon to my child theme
   directory and changed all references to spasalon with my child theme’s name. 
   However, this didn’t work.
 * Can anyone explain how I can go about using one theme’s header.php in a different
   theme?
 * Thanks!
