Thanks for Replying SWD and Alchymyth.

Yes, I’ve activated the theme by going to the theme by going to my dashboard > theme > manage themes and then selecting the child theme and setting it to active. The result of having done so can be seen here.

I have no other files in the my child-theme folder. I thought that the base settings of the parent theme would carry over so if you made a child theme and did nothing by add a CSS file like below, you would get a duplicate of the existing parent theme. I set no graphics for the parent theme, i’m just trying to get the child theme to display as the parent theme does when activated. And if i’m getting some elements from the twenty twelve theme, i’ve no idea why as the only thing existing in my twentyeleven-child theme fold is a css file.

I’ve included screen shots to illustrate that point.

My Current CSS (which is in the child theme folder)
‘
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Eleven Child Theme
Author: Self-Help WordPress User
Template: twentyeleven
*/

@import url(“../twentyeleven/style.css”);
‘

Screenshot of twentyeleven-child folder:

Screenshot of css folder:

To the best of my abilities, yes I did. I created the folder called ‘twentyeleven-child’ and placed a css file titled ‘style.css’ within it, then attempted to implement it and the results appear to be that the images don’t load. I’m completely flummoxed by this.

I get a completely white screen (of death?)
