   Hi Guys,

   Just checking here before I do anything.

   I have a child theme folder developed. The STYLE.CSS file is pointing to a basic layout:

   /* Apply a basic layout */
   @import url('../thematic/library/layouts/2c-r-fixed.css');

   HOWEVER - I do not want to use the 2c-r-fixed.css as it is. I want to slightly adjust it, should I:

   1. edit the ../thematic/library/layouts/2c-r-fixed.css directly?
   2. Create a new LAYOUT file and store it in ../thematic/library/layouts/ also?
   3. Create a new Layouts sub folder under my child theme, duplicate the basic layouts into that folder and edit there?

   Whats best practise for this?

   then your import will look like

   @import url('layouts/2c-r-fixed.css');

   if you are only bringing one over you don't need, perforce, to put it in a special folder.

   @import url('2c-r-fixed.css');

   you don't need to even put it in a separate file. i've read there are performance benefits to reducing the number of stylesheets your site loads. i copy the layout into my style.css and hack away.

   well #1 and #2 are frowned upon b/c we don't like to touch the thematic files and generally think it is better to keep all your changes in your child's folder. cheers! and don't forget to mark as resolved.
