 * Please forgive this beginner’s question, but…
 * Having created my child theme, I see when I go to my editor that underneath the
   Stylesheet (style.css) where I’ve added my custom css, there’s another file called‘
   style.ctcbackup.css’. What is this and should I duplicate my css to here too?
 * Thanks very much

 * The backup file is created automatically when you generate, reconfigure or duplicate
   a child theme from the parent/child tab.
 * It is used to restore the child theme to its original state when you select the“
   Reset” option on the parent/child tab.
 * You should not modify this file, but it may be useful if you need to compare 
   versions for some reason.
