adding HTML to author bio

Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme. Instead create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

Thanks for the reply. I made a backup of my changes and deleted the twenty-ten folder in themes and went to install as fresh untouched them. I get this error though.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /nfs/c08/h01/mnt/118256/domains/inspired-evolution.com/html/blog/wp-admin/includes/theme-install.php on line 265

please advise as to what I should do.

Try uploading a fresh copy of Twenty Ten manually using FTP.

this may be a silly question, but I have always downloaded themes via wp-admin. Where would I go to download the twenty-ten theme?

ok I found it thanks. Quick question. For my child theme do I alter the css file in twentyten or do I put my alterations in the style sheet of my child theme?

the point of the child theme, is that you do all edits to it. You should never touch the parent theme

Best way is to use the import rule in your child theme, to call the css of the parent theme.

Then in your child theme, you only copy over the css you need to edit, and make your modifications (or write your new rules)

thanks for the help so far. I have my child theme going with the twentyten theme as the parent. Now back to my original post on the author piece.

What exactly is it that you wanted to add to your bio in terms of markup?

an unorganized list
<ul>with <li>‘s and images in between the Li’s which link to my social networking sites.

[Please post code snippets between backticks or use the code button.]

In that case, you would need to start by creating a new author.php template file in your child theme. Have a look at Author_Templates.

ok, thanks. I will take a look at that.
