Activating the Theme
It's very easy to activate our new child theme. Open your Wordpress Admin Area, go Appearances >> Theme and you'll see a list of your themes that you've got installed. You'll also spot one new one, so hit activate on our new child theme!
Now, when you click Activate, and you visit your site, nothing (should) look any different. That's because we haven't actually styled any parts of our site yet.

Well written tutorial, Mark! Do you know if you do your site customization on the parent theme, do you lose all that when the theme owner makes updates? Is this why you would want a child theme?
Thanks again for doing this tutorial.
