 * If I update the parent theme, what happens to all the custom css I have been 
   using in the child theme? Do I have to make the child theme all over again and
   apply all the custom css again? I’m nervous about doing this but I’d like to 
   take advantage of the latest update. Right now my theme is at version 2.6

 * hi bjbaron…
 * Firstly do all the changes in the child theme then update your parent theme. 
   There will be no changes in the child theme after updating the parent theme.
 * thank you..
