 * Hi there,
 * I created a child team for twenty ten, included the parents style.css & editor-
   style.css in the new css files and made some (minor) adjustments.
 * I also created a images/headers directory in my child theme.
    Added headers with
   accompanying thumbnails (both of the same size as the parent’s defaults). Now
   when I go into customisation and select Default, I still see the twenty ten default
   headers. Not my own…
 * What am I doing wrong here?

 * Oh, I see now. The default headers are hard coded in functions.php.
    And what
   I understand from the text here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   I will need to write my own twentyten_setup() it is declared conditionally in
   the parent…
 * Unfortunately the setup function uses %s (which is the path to the TEMPLATE dir)
   and I would like to use the theme dir.. is there a string for that too?
