 ====== Theme Development Tips ======
+These are some tips to help development of themes for GetSimple
+  * There are many optional settings located in the ''/path/to/getsimple/gsconfig.php'' file. Includes CKEditor, file upload, security, language and sitemap settings.
+  * To turn on debugging, uncomment the GSDEBUG line in ''/path/to/getsimple/gsconfig.php'' to enable full PHP errors to help debug.
+  * If you want to see all PHP errors written to a log, check out ''/data/other/logs/errorlog.txt'' - It is automatically generated by the system regardless of the GSDEBUG setting.
+  * Add the file ''/path/to/getsimple/your-theme/functions.php'' into your theme to add custom functions that can be used within your theme.
+  * Add a image of your theme as ''/path/to/getsimple/your-theme/images/screenshot.png'' to enable the theme image that shows when it s activated in the administrator panel. Be sure to name it that exact name or else our system will not pick it up. Lowercase AND in the folder ''/images/'' AND named ''screenshot.png''
+  * Add the code below to the top of any PHP file within your theme. This will stop any unwanted direct access to that particular file.
+<code><?php if(!defined('IN_GS')){ die('you cannot load this page directly.'); } ?></code>
