 * Kind of an embarrassing questions. There’s a misplaced bit of CSS at the bottom
   left of my site (see here: [http://www.wcql.com/](http://www.wcql.com/)) and 
   I’d like to delete it, but I can’t remember or locate it. Using the inspect tools
   in chrome I can see it, but I still don’t know where it would be.
 * Is that something that can be determined by looking at the source?
 * Also, an irrelevant, but short question:
 * Should I have copied all the template, content, sidebar.php, etc files from my
   parent to my child theme? I’m thinking that was a mistake. The Style.css is set
   up correctly…and everything’s working, but was that wrong?
 * Do these files overwrite the control of the parent theme files?
 * Feeling like a major noob today.
 * Thanks,
 * Jason

 * Use Firebug in FF or web developer tools in IE to identify where the css is coming
   from.

 * Seems like the inspect tool in Chrome is the same thing…
 * Anyway, I found it in the index.php file of the child theme.
 * On that thought though, I don’t think I want to have the index.php in the child
   theme.
 * Thanks.

 * Yeah, I got that all sorted out.
 * As I understand it, you only want files that you WANT to edit to be in the child
   theme. Correct?
