are basically just the license for the theme and a note telling others that the complete license
is available in the theme folder, in a text file called license.txt. It’s a good idea to have one of

have several headers if you like), you want this file to be general enough to work on all
occasions. This is the code I’ve copied from the HTML file, to a new file called header.php:<!DOCTYPE HTML>
