Steve:

Wow, you were the first to catch this error!

I looked through the video's original script and see that it originally walked through duplication of the Garland theme, creation of the .info file, and so forth. Many of these videos came to 13+ minutes when complete, and had to be cut way down: It appears that the editors removed a fairly important part. Oops.

Here are my notes from that section -- I hope they help. I'll also let the Lynda.com folks know. (By the way, the best way to get such matters addressed is to file a bug with them through your Lynda.com subscription.)

We could just go in and edit our theme itself, but we're going to do it the safe, correct way. We'll make a copy of our theme so that, if anything goes wrong, we can roll back all our changes, with no harm done.

[Change "Page for family" display to Grid style]

[Duplicate Garland theme into /sites/default/themes: NotGarland]

[Change .info file first lines. Add local.css.]

By this I mean to change the line:

; $Id: garland.info,v 1.5 2007/07/01 23:27:32 goba Exp $

...to read "notgarland.info", etc. (Actually, I'm not sure this step is necessary, since this is just packaging information from drupal.org. But better safe than sorry, eh?)

Then change:

"name = Garland" to "name = NotGarland"

...and add a line before:

stylesheets[all][] = style.css

that reads:

stylesheets[all][] = local.css

[SWITCH TO NOTGARLAND THEME]

I hope that helps!
