Hi,
I am using the Responsive theme and trying to make some changes.
I didn't want to ruin anything so I've decided to make a child theme.
I followed all the instructions at http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes.
And when I installed my child theme, I went to my page to find it very bland, there is no background and the little social icons are replaced with '[?]'
I even tried downloading and installing the child theme from Theme ID
http://themeid.com/help/discussion/3759/responsive-child-theme-installation
I installed their version and the same thing happens.
I think there might be other styles missing too but it's too hard to tell since there isn't enough content on my site yet.
