 * I am a new bee but this seems like a no-brainer. I have done a child theme on
   another site (based on twenty twelve) and it works fine.
 * I am just trying to create a child theme for the theme ‘news channel’. This is
   the Error that I am getting in the Themes Window:
 * The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet
   and a template.
 * Name Description
    tenpresidentialfacts Template is missing.
 * Here is all the code I have in my child theme css file:
 *     ```
       @charset "UTF-8";
       /* 
   
       CSS Document 
   
       Theme Name: ten-presidential-facts
   
       Description: newschannel child theme with color and font tweaks
   
       Author: Jim DiGiovanni  Version: 0.2.1
   
       Template: newschannel
   
       /*
   
       Color Notes: Patriotic Palette:
   
       Blue: #122a59
       Red: #77050f
       Gray:  #e2e2e2
       White: #ffffff
       Gold:  #87785c
   
       */						
   
       @import url('../newschannel/style.css');
       ```
