The leg work is done, so now it's time to activate the new child theme.
Login to your Wordpress dashboard, then click on the Appearance tab and select Themes. You'll now see your new theme alongside your existing parent theme. At this stage there is no screenshot image - we'll deal with that in another tutorial, it's not important to have it, just nice to keep your dashboard looking good and well managed!
Click the Activate button and your done!
Last but not least, let's have a look at how to access your new child theme editor, so you can begin to style your site.

Hi Yogie,
cPanel is something not connected with WordPress. You should have been given login details to it by your web host. Check to see what control panel they offer. If you still have your sign-up documentation, check that to see where to find your control panel. Otherwise, ask your host.
If cPanel is available to you you should be able to access it via your domain name + "/cpanel" (no quotes). Fill in your admin name and password (included with your documentation) and hit enter. That will take you to your cPanel, where you can get access to loads of stuff.
I hope this makes it clear. I will add this into the tutorial, thanks for asking!
