 * So I am learning how to create themes for wordpress and I followed the tutorial.
   I got to the part where it said to edit the stylesheet and add in the comments
   so I did. The tutorial then said to go to themes and look for the theme and check
   out the theme I just created, which should be blank. The problem is when I got
   to the themes my theme I created shows up as broken and says the stylesheet is
   missing even though I know it is not. What can I do? I know everything is installed
   correctly, I don’t see anything that can go wrong. I also already searched this
   topic and could find nothing so I thought I should ask here.

 * I reviewed it and everything is ok. The thing is even a theme that should show
   up blank doesn’t work and shows up broken even though it is not. Thanks though
   🙂

 * Wow, I feel retarded lol. So I fixed my problem. When I saved the files as .php
   and .css they were still saved as text documents. I just had to go through and
   resave them making sure there it was saving as a php scripts and css and not 
   as a text document.
