    I am having difficulty creating my style.css in the child theme. I downloaded your zip file, installed it and activated it from "Appearance/Theme". All is good so far...

    My confusion is this... do I copy/paste the entire style.css into my child theme style.css file and edit individual items? Or, do I just add the items I want to modify?

    I added the following to my child theme, but none of these changes are reflected on my site. Below is a copy of the style.css in my child theme.
    ----------------------------------------------------

    /*
    Theme Name: Geocraft Theme Child
    Theme URI: http://www.inkthemes.com/
    Description: Child theme for the Geocraft theme
    Author: Inkthemes
    Author URI: http://www.inkthemes.com/
    Template: geocrafttheme
    Version: 1.1
    */
    @import url("../geocrafttheme/style.css");

    .top_strip {

    background:#003E8C;

    width:100%;

    padding-top: 5px;

    padding-bottom: 5px;

    }


    .header_wrapper {

    background:#ffffff repeat-x bottom;

    min-height:220px;

    padding-bottom:16px;

    }

    .header_wrapper .header{

    background: #ffffff url('images/headerln.png') top center no-repeat;

    position: relative;

    }

    ----------------------------------------------------

    My primary objective is changing colors, but this is not happening.

    Please advise what I am doing wrong. Also, is there a good tutorial that covers the formatting of such changes in a child theme? The website is http://loghome.directory

    Thank you,

    Tom
