    I maybe being new and silly, but just for information, why are the full list of php files show under the parent Expound, but not under the child, which makes editing impossible for child designs? I’m stuck with editing css only which is a slow learning process. I don’t have any of my files on my computer, the hosting co. (not wordpress.com) have them. CSS works but I can’t edit php files except in the parent theme which I am reluctant to do.

    yes I’ve read what is supposed to happen and how to add widgets areas to the theme, when I’ve got my upload blank functions file with the new functions code in place in it

    (not the parent functions.php file, which every time I added code to the whole site shut off with syntax parse error and a backup copy was needed to replace),

    but I was wondering if anyone using Expound has tried it yet….adding a child function file with just the extra widget code functions and whether it really worked?

    Or has anyone tried this creating a custom plugin which recommended by the podcast team http://justintadlock.com/archives/2011/02/02/creating-a-custom-functions-plugin-for-end-users
