Description

When new users download SilverStripe? and start hacking the design, it's not clear what they're supposed to edit. This thread highlights the confusion.

Can you please amend the tutorial documentation to show how you can duplicate the blackcandy theme, creating "yourtheme", and then editing the files in that theme to create the design for your site.

http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=themes:developing . Hopefully will make this quite in depth but I will spilt it out into several sections/pages eg html, css, etc etc and just going over briefly on the themes page. More of a overview type as developing themes can be quite a large topic.
