 * I enjoyed your design and thought it would work for my site. I’m trying to create
   a child theme and having troubles. Here is what I have written:
 * /*
    Theme Name: ilisa child Theme URI: [http://ilisa.pixxels.at](http://ilisa.pixxels.at)
   Template: ilisa Version: 1.1.1 Ilisa WordPress Theme, Copyright 2013, Marion 
   Lindert License: GNU General Public License License URI: license.txt Tags: light,
   custom-colors, custom-background, two-columns, right-sidebar, threaded-comments,
   custom-menu, sticky-post, full-width-template, custom-header, featured-images,
   theme-options, translation-ready, editor-style */
 * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) (“../ilisa/style.css”);
 * /* =Theme customization starts here
 * I’ve managed to upload this theme to my site, but it doesn’t seem the sytlesheet
   is crossing over. You can look at my website at [http://www.davidakoch.org](http://www.davidakoch.org)
   and see what I’m getting. It doesn’t see the style sheet is passing over. Any
   help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

 * The line should be:
 * `@import url("../ilisa/style.css");`
