 * Thanks for the responses… I can sense the passion for WP !!
 * But if I may continue with a few more thoughts..
 * Is all editing of existing themes/child themes done via the WP dashboard editor??
   Or can I safely edit with Dreamweaver ?
 * If I’m looking to alter the HTML and CSS of a child theme, do I search through
   the existing php/css child files, and make my changes there ??
 * Last thought.. If have a html 5, W3C validated static site, using jQuery, what
   is the best way to get that into WP.. I’ve looked at the theme Blankslate, and
   Thematic.. Are they good places to start ??
 * Also, I see that, via the WP documentation that the child theme should be named
   the same as the parent, hyphenated with the word child, and put in the themes
   directory. However, was does WP’s theme called Themify put the theme in the same
   directory as the parent ?? And call it “themeNamesamplechildtheme ?? I think 
   it was at the top of my search list for plugins to create child themes.
 * btw, i’m blown away by the abundance and variations of the plugins… very cool..
 * thanks for your help..
