 * My logo I am trying to insert is 200 x 83. When I upload it is automatically 
   converted to the recommended size of 940 x 100 which makes it all pixely. How
   can I override this? Thanks for your help.

 * To make any modifications to a theme you have to create a child theme for it.
   
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * but if all you need is just to override some CSS things and nothing else ever,
   instead of creating a child theme, you could just use one of those Custom CSS
   plugin.
 * Like this one for example.
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/my-custom-css](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/my-custom-css)
 * After you got your child theme activated, put this in under the `@import` line(
   or in case of using plugin just put in its section ).
 * This for left align logo.
 *     ```
       body #headimg #logo-image img { width: auto; }
       ```
   
 * This for center align logo.
 *     ```
       body #headimg #logo-image img { width:auto;margin:0 auto;display:block; }
       ```

 * I installed the child theme like this
 * /*
    Theme Name: Prana Theme URI: [http://example.com/](http://example.com/) Description:
   Child theme for the Prana theme Author: Ann Beck Author URI: [http://example.com/about/](http://example.com/about/)
   Template: Prana Version: 0.1.0 */ [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   url(“../prana/style.css”);
 * and when I went to activate it this appears
 * The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet
   and a template.
    Name Description Prana The parent theme is missing. Please install
   the “Prana” parent theme.
 * Do you know where I messed up? I don’t know how to code so I probably did something
   stupid. Thanks!

 * Try changing this:
 *     ```
       Template: Prana
       ```
   
 * to:
 *     ```
       Template: prana
       ```

 * That worked I was able to activate the theme 🙂 but when I added
 * body #headimg #logo-image img { width: auto; }
 * the logo size did not change. Any suggestions? Am I supposed to paste the actual
   width I want? Thanks for your help.

 * ok, I can’t explain this but the child theme eliminated my sidebar. When I added
   back the sidebar widgets and refreshed the page the logo problem resolved itself.
   So (for now) I am good to go. Thank you so much for all of your help!

 * Changes made to CSS takes effect right away, but browser keeps cache, so each
   time we have to do a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5).
 * Childtheme doesn’t eliminate sidebar widgets, it just that WP doesn’t know if
   the new theme we’ve just switched to has the same widget areas or what, so it
   moves widgets to the unused area with all its settings kept.
