Do I copy the whole CSS folder into my child theme, or do I open the css folder and copy the files inside?

This is what is inside the CSS folder:

editor-style.css

and

ie.css

When you are working with a child theme, it pulls information from the parent theme. Basically, you only want to include what's different inside the child theme folder. I would read through the codex on child themes. This explains what is needed both in the folder and in the files themselves.

Hi Emma, He's saying in the video that we can drag and drop from the WordPress file we originally downloaded. I did read what you sent me, so it seems as though I have to make a style sheet in an editor styles.css and copy over the information given, and change that which is relevant to my theme. They also said I have to have a PHP file as well.
