 * Hi I´m trying to alter a template and I get this message
 * You need to make this file writable before you can save your changes. See the
   Codex for more information.
 * I have tried to change all the files in my admin area : chmod’en
 * wp/wp-admin/theme-editor.php
    and css files
 * as informed to 666 or 777
 * but still no joy
 * thanks in advance

 * You need to change the permissions of your theme files – not the files in wp-
   admin.
