How to Make a WordPress Child Theme - Simple!

The best ways to preserve any changes that you make to your original WordPress theme is to create a child theme and use that one instead of the original. A child theme maintains the functionality of the original theme, but allows you to make design customizations without losing them if your WordPress theme updates various parts of the theme's code. It's very easy to do, just follow along with the video and you can create your own WordPress child theme in a snap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F34QeY8PglgMike Simmons
