Creating a Child Theme in WordPress
A couple of days ago I updated Lightword, the theme that I've been using on this blog for quite a while now. Unfortunately when I did the update I lost all of my customizations, including my logo and Adsense code. So I went looking for a solution.
Little did I know, WordPress has supported a feature called "child themes" for some time now. The idea is that you create a new theme, which is as simple as creating a new directory with a single CSS file called style.css, and add a comment to the new CSS file specifying the name of the parent theme. You can read all about how to create a child theme here.
There’s Nothin Like Experimentin’!
Due to how much I despite the WordPress admin console I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to the WordPress 2.7 Release Candidate which was just made available tonight! Though I'm excited to test out this bleeding edge version of my favorite blogging platform there may be some issues with the upgrade. Let me know if anything seems out of the ordinary!
