Child CSS style sheet

    I just made my first child theme from TwentyTen and now I don’t know where my CSS styles are. Before I made the child theme I had made number of changes to the default style.css. When I first launched the new child theme there were no styles to be seen and then I added

    @import url(‘../twentyten/style.css’);

    then I refreshed and all of my changes were there but now I don’t know where to find the style sheet I was making the changes on.

    When I go to Appearances and editor this is all I get for the style sheet.
    /*
    Theme Name: Twenty Ten
    Theme URI: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/
    Description: My first child theme
    Author: Nancy
    Template: twentyten
    */
    Any ideas?
    Thanks, Nancy

    Hi there…Just wondering if your in the write place.

    Here are the basic steps:

    Step 1: Create a Folder in the wp-content/themes directory for your theme.

    Step 2: Create a style.css file with the theme information. example..

    /*
    Theme Name: Billions Child
    Description: Child Theme for Billions theme
    Author: commodoregirl
    Template: billions
    Version: 1.1.4
    */

    @import url(‘../twentyten/style.css’);

    This file goes into the folder you created earlier which should reside next to the parent folder in the wp-content/themes directory for your theme.

    Once you’ve completed these steps login to wordpress, click on appearance – themes – and activate child theme!

    Hope this helps 🙂
