Hi Ken,
Thanks for the information. I looked at the info on your blog, and I am confused about how exactly the child theme works. I don’t have many customizations outside what can be changed using the interface provided with the graphene theme. I have my own header I want to use, plus I want to pick what goes on the menu, plus I want to set up my sidebar like it is on my existing blog (my aweber forms, search, and to have widgets set up and in the order they are currently on my existing blog), plus I want all the settings that are on my current blog carried over.
Is a child theme the best way to go if that is all I need to do? I’d really just like to be able to “activate” the graphene them and make all the changes without having it go live before the changes are all made. I experimented with making changes on my new blog that is using this theme so I know how to make those changes through the interface provided. I do like the idea of a test blog. Would creating a test blog on another domain name I am not yet using to make all the changes there work? Then I could copy in the files from that. With a child theme, can I do that same sort of thing? Can I “activate” it to make all the changes directly from the interface provided with the graphene theme and then move the theme in? I’d rather make the changes using the interface provided than by messing with all the files. I can handle a few cuts and pastes in the code, but that is about it.
Thanks.
Debbie
