   This forum is for posting your custom child themes.

   I'm just going to lay out a few guidelines for everyone to follow.

   • You must host the file on your own site. You can't upload it here.
   • Place a link to the file in the thread.
   • Write a thread title that is clear and concise. Something like Child Theme Name: Parent Theme Name is preferrable.
   • Package your child theme in a .zip or .tar file. Most people can open these.
   • Make sure it works.
   • If you post malicious code or other inappropriate content, you will be banned from this site.
   • Include a GPL-compatible license (you can even copy license.txt from the parent theme): — http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses
   • Your theme must be 100% GPL licensed (or compatible). This includes (but is not limited to) CSS, JavaScript, images, and HTML.

   Some other things you should consider

   I won't be checking every line of code for people's themes, but making your theme works in the major browsers is something most people will appreciate.

   Validate your XHTML and CSS:

   WordPress theme development checklist (most of this stuff is handled by the parent theme and you shouldn't worry):

   Other than those things, have fun and share!
