# Child CSS style sheet

 * I just made my first child theme from TwentyTen and now I don’t know where my
   CSS styles are. Before I made the child theme I had made number of changes to
   the default style.css. When I first launched the new child theme there were no
   styles to be seen and then I added
 *  [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(‘../twentyten/style.
   css’);
 * then I refreshed and all of my changes were there but now I don’t know where 
   to find the style sheet I was making the changes on.
 * When I go to Appearances and editor this is all I get for the style sheet.
    /*
   Theme Name: Twenty Ten Theme URI: [http://wordpress.org/](http://wordpress.org/)
   Description: My first child theme Author: Nancy Template: twentyten */ Any ideas?
   Thanks, Nancy

 * Hi there…Just wondering if your in the write place.
 * Here are the basic steps:
 * Step 1: Create a Folder in the wp-content/themes directory for your theme.
 * Step 2: Create a style.css file with the theme information. example..
 * /*
    Theme Name: Billions Child Description: Child Theme for Billions theme Author:
   commodoregirl Template: billions Version: 1.1.4 */
 * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(‘../twentyten/style.
   css’);
 * This file goes into the folder you created earlier which should reside next to
   the parent folder in the wp-content/themes directory for your theme.
 * Once you’ve completed these steps login to wordpress, click on appearance – themes–
   and activate child theme!
 * Hope this helps 🙂
