 * I first installed twenty fourteen and it seemed OK. I tried to set up a child
   theme (3 times) but each time the web site showed up unformatted. I posted here
   for assistance but no real support.
    So as a last resort I decided to forget 
   about child theme and go back to twenty fourteen as it was. Strangely, the theme
   doesn’t show up in the Appearance/Manage Themes section. I thought to reinstall
   via the Search Themes section, but there is shows that it is already installed.
   Very weird. I’m at the stage where I’m going to drop twenty fourteen and go for
   something which works. I’ve installed maybe 15-20 other themes and never had 
   this amount of trouble.
