 * I think I said it all in the title. I couldn’t upload the theme as it was missing
   a styles.css. I checked the files and can confirm that there isn’t one. I guess
   I could add a blank one, but then I could just create a child theme myself if
   I wanted to start creating files.
 * Nice idea, poor execution…a bit like blocks 😉

 * Same thing is happening for me. Although I think I will try creating the blank
   style.css file because from what I saw in a demo today, it’s worth it for the
   templates and patterns it comes with.

 * `create-block-theme` is a plugin, not a theme. You don’t upload it as a theme.
   You install it via the Plugins UI in the WP admin.
