    I do need ftp access to create a child theme though right?

    In the past I think I have created a child theme by simply copying over all of the files into a new directory under /themes. Thanks to I understand it a little better.

    Found it in the first few lines of the style.css page:

    “Colors are loaded from one of two styleheets: default.css or dark.css
    * These stylesheets are located in /inc/css/”

    So I guess it turns out that I need ftp access in order to access those files?

    I can’t find an @import in the style.css…

    The theme that I am basing it off of is Gridspace by Graph Paper Press and you can see what I am talking about if you hover over the text that says “only your best photos.” default.css?ver=”3.5.1

    I am trying to get rid of the black bar beneath that title and the dotted lines beneath the menu’s on the sidebar.

    I am hesitant to post a link to the site because the last time I posted a link google indexed it and now I am having SEO issues with it.

    Thank you very much for the quick reply! These forums are very helpful.

    I fixed it by adjusting the ‘top’ positioning element in the style sheet. I changed it from 3.333em to 3.1em. It seems to work in IE, Opera, Chrome, and FF on a PC, and the same on a Mac:

    #access ul ul {
    display: none;
    float: left;
    margin: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: 3.1em;
    left: 0;
    width: 188px;
    z-index: 99999;
    }

    The validation page brought up multiple errors, but it seems to be functioning fine in all browsers? As far as what I have done in making a theme by saving the twenty eleven theme and renaming the style sheet–will this be safe from updates?

    Thanks for the prompt reply.

    I found a website:

    http://www.rvoodoo.com/projects/wordpress/wordpress-tip-stop-editing-twentyten-theme-use-a-child-theme/

    that explained my options pretty well. What I did was download the theme via my ftp browser, saved it as another name, renamed the style.css file, zipped it, and reinstalled it as another theme.

    This seemed to be fairly straightforward. The site I am building will not (most likely) need updates in the future other than simple text updates. It is to be an archival site of sorts.

    Thanks again for the reply, and let me know if this changes anything.
