SReiblin - thanks for your suggestion! I will put something about sub-theming into the presentation.

If anyone else has any suggestions, please post and I will do my best to incorporate them into the presentation.

Hi Megan,

Thanks for sharing your knowledge on Thursday evening. Although I'll probably never build my own theme, your explanation helped me to understand the way a theme works.

Useful for someone just starting out -- and moving to a new server this week:

Thank you!

Thank you Megan for your presentation!

I especially appreciated the structure of how theme elements fit together.
