 * Hello, great theme!
    I would like to use child theme but it seems not working.
 * What files – including style.css – should be included in the child theme directory?
 * Currently, I have style.css in the child theme directory and I get a blank page
   after activating the theme.
 * Using WPMU.
 * Thank you for your support.

 * Hi strategizeme,
 * To make a child theme for WPChimp Countdown, you should have a directory called
   wpchimp-countdown-child inside your wp-content/themes directory and under that
   directory you should have at least a style.css file (that’s the only requirement).
 * For example having this css file would work:
 *     ```
       /*
        Theme Name:   WPChimp Countdown Child
        Theme URI:    http://example.com
        Description:  WPChimp Coundown Child Theme
        Author:       John Doe
        Author URI:   http://example.com
        Template:     wpchimp-countdown
        Version:      1.0.0
        Tags:         responsive-layout, custom-menu, custom-colors, translation-ready, theme-options, editor-style, right-sidebar, threaded-comments
        Text Domain:  wpchimp-countdown-child
       */
   
       @import url("../wpchimp-countdown/style.css");
   
       /* =Theme customization starts here
       -------------------------------------------------------------- */
       .headline {
       	color: red;
       }
       ```
   
 * This example will make the headline text red.
 * Hope it works out, if not please reply to this message.
 * Best regards,
