Stylesheet problem with new theme system

    I just upgraded this evening and after a couple of hours of fooling around (I’m a novice) I finally got it upgraded. Problem is, it went to the default theme because my old template wasn’t where it should be in the new set up.

    Put the whole folder in the Theme folder and now it tells me that my theme is broken because there is no stylesheet. I went back to look and the file is there.

    I opened the Theme Editor to the stylesheet of the Theme I was using and compared it to the text of my original stylesheet. It looks comparable. Everything except. . .there was something in the default about images. It said, “*** REGARDING IMAGES *** All CSS that involves the use of images, can be found in the ‘index.php’ file. This is to ease installation inside subdirectories of a server.”

    My original template stylesheet includes images. Is this the problem? If not, can someone give me a direction to look into?

    Much thanks for any and all help.

    You have to put some information into the top of your stylesheet:
    Theme Name:your theme name
    Theme URI: http://wordpress.org/ for example
    Description: This is my theme inspired by my love of moose
    Version: 1.0 (version number of your theme)
    Author: You!
    Author URI: http://www.example.com/ -your site

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

    It took knowing EXACTLY what items were required in the folder to truly be a theme AND knowing that I needed to add that part at the top. I had originally changed the style file to include that portion, but forgot to include the end tag. Duh. Now I only have to fix a minor problem with the formatting of my comments pop up.

    I truly appreciate the quick help.
