I have a question regaurding template editing!

I see in my list of template files that many of my templates are not custom and are the same as default. Does this mean I can make them a child theme to the default them and ony edit the default files for modifications (hacks) or do you have to edit child as well?? And what if I add a child theme to the parent after a hack..will it make the changes good for that them as well!?

TY for your help!

If you add a child theme to your current theme then it will inherit all the template changes apart from in any templates that are modified as part of that theme.

Spot on :)

If they are child styles you only need to edit the red templates. An orange (maybe yellow) template is inherited from the parent style.
