 ===== enable the theme =====
 Once your theme is roughly set up, you need to enable it in the drupal admin, under Administer->Site Building->Themes.
+===== clear-block =====
+Drupal has a build in css fix for when you need a containing element to always extend to the size of the floated children.  To use this, simply give the container a class of clear-block.  This avoids the common fixes such as placing a div after the floated elements with "clear: both;".

+===== clearing the cache =====
+Depending on the caching settings of your site, you many not see theming changes right after you make them.  To fix this, you need to clear the cache at Administer->Site Configuration->Clear Cached Data
+I didn't install it, but there is supposed to be a Dev module that provides an easy link or something to do this faster.
