2,904 PointsThe style.css file
I am oh so confused. Where does this style.css file come from? Is it copied and pasted from somewhere? When I copy and paste from my server file, it does not say anything about it being a child file like it does in the video, but an exact replica of the file I copied, which makes sense. Am I supposed to create a blank style.css file and copy and paste a snippet from somewhere? I've watched the video 15 times now and he just seems to grab the file from off screen and boom, now it is doing something. Would love some really dumbed down help here.

You can download the project files here: http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/WordPress/wp5.3.3-make-a-website-with-wordpress.zip (that is the link to the project files download). The project files contain the style.css file Zac is referring to. Or you can create your own style.css file in a text editor program. If you do that, you must include the specific information and (in this case) the @import... link for a child theme to be valid.
Hope that helps clarify the mystery. Leslie
