 * Hello: I do not know if anyone can help me with this, but let me say what I am
   looking to do. I am trying to setup a custom website using the WP twentyeleven
   or twentytwelve themes. I know how to do a child theme and I know how to do custom
   page templates and I know how to put things on pages with divs, floats, margins
   and padding, positioning and the whole nine yards. This is my problem. both of
   those themes are “responsive”. And so for example if I have three columns on 
   page using “divs”; if i use either of those sites; it will attempt to move the
   items in those three columns down into a vertical column when viewed on smaller
   screens like smartphones. What I would like to have happen is for instead to 
   just have everything stay in its place and the whole website just “shrink” to
   fit the smaller screen size….
 * Anyway to do that?
 * Thanks, Gerard

 * this partial approach for Twenty Eleven might give you some pointers to start
   with:

 * you will need to edit the corresponding media queries in the stylesheet, or add
   new ones to overwrite the ones in the parent themes.
