I would like to make some changes on my site and I need to create a child theme. Can somebody help me please on how to go about it.

If you're still keen to try a child theme out, I wrote some training a while back on the subject you might like to have a look at:

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Yeah do as Beverley does, feels like a great way to do it :)

I use a siterubix site as a test site - so I can always try changes there before doing them on my main site. :) Beverley

Hi - making child themes can be overly complicated.

I would suggest you do as Guy says - just make the changes - you can always change them back if you don't like them. Or download the theme again.

All the best, Mark

Hi, Just take a look here:http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes.
But I think It would not be necessary to create a child theme when you want only to change background color and size.

Don't know about the child theme. Sorry

I also don't know how to create a child theme but I would like to learn.

There are many free themes you can use for your site . You should go to wordpress.com and look for a theme that you want to use for your blog .. I'm sure you can find a free theme for that ..

The theme that I'm using I got it for free and I'd like to keep it but I want to change the width of the site and background colour.

I don't know how to change the width of a website.

To change your background color, go to your WordPress Dashboard - Appearance - Background - Display Options - Background Color.

Hope this helps!

I use Platform and it allows to change width for mainsection and also for the side bars
