# 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/](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/](http://www.example.com/) -your site_

 * 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.
