 * This is the
    - example
 *  that I followed to create my Style.CSS for my child theme:
 * /*
    Theme Name: Twenty Eleven Child Theme URI: [http://example.com/](http://example.com/)
   Description: Child theme for the Twenty Eleven theme Author: Your name here Author
   URI: [http://example.com/about/](http://example.com/about/) Template: twentyeleven
   Version: 0.1.0 */
 * This is what my Style.CSS looks like:
 * /*
    Theme Name: Twenty Eleven Child Theme URI: [http://www.monaleasamedia.com/Millgrovewoodproducts/](http://www.monaleasamedia.com/Millgrovewoodproducts/)
   Description: Child theme for the Twenty Eleven theme Author: Admin Author URI:
   http:/example/about/ Template: twentyeleven Version: 0.1.4 */
 * When I try to Activate the Child Theme I get the error:
 * **Broken Themes**
 * The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet
   and a template.
    Name Description Twenty Eleven Child Stylesheet is missing.
 * Can someone help me find out what’s wrong?
 * here’s the url:

 * I tried the following changes to bring in the CSS from the parent but it still
   doesn’t work. Here’s what my new CSS looks like:
 * /*
    Theme Name: twentyeleven-child Theme URI: [http://www.monaleasamedia.com/Millgrovewoodproducts/](http://www.monaleasamedia.com/Millgrovewoodproducts/)
   Description: Child theme for the Twenty Eleven theme Author: Admin Author URI:
   http:/example/about/ Template: twentyeleven Version: 0.1.4 */
