+BUILD A THEME WITH ZEN
+----------------------
+
+The base Zen theme is designed to be easily extended by its sub-themes. You
+shouldn't modify any of the CSS or PHP files in the zen/ folder; but instead you
+should create a sub-theme of zen which is located in a folder outside of the
+root zen/ folder. The examples below assume zen and your sub-theme will be
+installed in sites/all/themes/, but any valid theme directory is acceptable
+(read the sites/default/default.settings.php for more info.)
+
+  Why? To learn why you shouldn't modify any of the files in the zen/ folder,
+  see https://drupal.org/node/245802
+
+
+*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
+*
+* In Drupal 7, the theme system caches which template files and which theme
+* functions should be called. This means that if you add a new theme,
+* preprocess or process function to your template.php file or add a new template
+* (.tpl.php) file to your sub-theme, you will need to rebuild the "theme
+* registry." See https://drupal.org/node/173880#theme-registry
+*
+* Drupal 7 also stores a cache of the data in .info files. If you modify any
+* lines in your sub-theme's .info file, you MUST refresh Drupal 7's cache by
+* simply visiting the Appearance page at admin/appearance.
+*
+
+
+ 1. Setup the location for your new sub-theme.
+
+    Copy the STARTERKIT folder out of the zen/ folder and rename it to be your
+    new sub-theme. IMPORTANT: The name of your sub-theme must start with an
+    alphabetic character and can only contain lowercase letters, numbers and
+    underscores.
+
+    For example, copy the sites/all/themes/zen/STARTERKIT folder and rename it
+    as sites/all/themes/foo.
+
+      Why? Each theme should reside in its own folder. To make it easier to
+      upgrade Zen, sub-themes should reside in a folder separate from the base
+      theme.
+
+ 2. Setup the basic information for your sub-theme.
+
+    In your new sub-theme folder, rename the STARTERKIT.info.txt file to include
+    the name of your new sub-theme and remove the ".txt" extension. Then edit
+    the .info file by editing the name and description field.
+
+    For example, rename the foo/STARTERKIT.info file to foo/foo.info. Edit the
+    foo.info file and change "name = Zen Sub-theme Starter Kit" to "name = Foo"
+    and "description = Read..." to "description = A Zen sub-theme".
+
+      Why? The .info file describes the basic things about your theme: its
+      name, description, features, template regions, CSS files, and JavaScript
+      files. See the Drupal 7 Theme Guide for more info:
+      https://drupal.org/node/171205
+
+    Then, visit your site's Appearance page at admin/appearance to refresh
+    Drupal 7's cache of .info file data.
+
+ 3. Choose your preferred page layout method or grid system.
+
+    By default your new sub-theme is using a responsive layout. If you want a
+    fixed layout for your theme, delete the unneeded "responsive" and
+    "responsive-rtl" css/sass files and edit your sub-theme's styles.css
+    or styles.scss file and replace the reference to "responsive" with
+    "fixed".
+
+    For example, edit foo/sass/styles.scss and change this line:
+      @import "layouts/responsive";
+    to:
+      @import "layouts/fixed";
+
+    Alternatively, if you are more familiar with a different CSS layout method,
+    such as GridSetApp or 960.gs, etc., you can replace the
+    "layouts/responsive" line in your styles.scss file with a line
+    pointing at your choice of layout CSS file.
+
+    Then, visit your site's Appearance page at admin/appearance to refresh
+    Drupal 7's theme cache.
+
+ 4. Edit your sub-theme to use the proper function names.
+
+    Edit the template.php and theme-settings.php files in your sub-theme's
+    folder; replace ALL occurrences of "STARTERKIT" with the name of your
+    sub-theme.
+
+    For example, edit foo/template.php and foo/theme-settings.php and replace
+    every occurrence of "STARTERKIT" with "foo".
+
+    It is recommended to use a text editing application with search and
+    "replace all" functionality.
+
+ 5. Set your website's default theme.
+
+    Log in as an administrator on your Drupal site, go to the Appearance page at
+    admin/appearance and click the "Enable and set default" link next to your
+    new sub-theme.
+
+
+Optional steps:
+
+ 6. Modify the markup in Zen core's template files.
+
+    If you decide you want to modify any of the .tpl.php template files in the
+    zen folder, copy them to your sub-theme's folder before making any changes.
+    And then rebuild the theme registry.
+
+    For example, copy zen/templates/page.tpl.php to foo/templates/page.tpl.php.
+
+ 7. Modify the markup in Drupal's search form.
+
+    Copy the search-block-form.tpl.php template file from the modules/search/
+    folder and place it in your sub-theme's template folder. And then rebuild
+    the theme registry.
+
+    You can find a full list of Drupal templates that you can override in the
+    templates/README.txt file or https://drupal.org/node/190815
+
+      Why? In Drupal 7 theming, if you want to modify a template included by a
+      module, you should copy the template file from the module's directory to
+      your sub-theme's template directory and then rebuild the theme registry.
+      See the Drupal 7 Theme Guide for more info: https://drupal.org/node/173880
+
+ 8. Further extend your sub-theme.
+
+    Discover further ways to extend your sub-theme by reading Zen's
+    documentation online at:
