So, I decided to track back to the beginning and figure out where my problems start;
Even with the only file in my child directory being style.css with the following code;
/*
Theme Name: Blueprint Child Theme
Description: Child theme for bueprint theme
Author: LG
Template: blueprint-theme
*/
It still destroys the layout of the site, any ideas why this is? Could it be because of the blueprint theme doesnt allow it or something?
By destroyed, I mean no graphics show up and the links and text are formatted all wonky.
