<p>I've recently embarked upon the <em>grand voyage</em> of Wordpress theming and I've been reading through the Wordpress documentation for how to write a theme.  One thing I came across <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> was that the <code>style.css</code> file must contain a specific header in order to be used by the Wordpress engine.  They give a brief example but I haven't been able to turn up any formal description of what must be in the <code>style.css</code> header portion.  Does this exist on the Wordpress site?  If it doesn't could we perhaps describe it here?</p>

You are probably thinking about this:
```
```
/*
THEME NAME: Parallax
THEME URI: http://parallaxdenigrate.net
VERSION: .1
AUTHOR: Martin Jacobsen
AUTHOR URI: http://martinjacobsen.no
*/
```
```
If I'm not way off, Wordpress uses this info to display in the "Activate Design" dialog in the admin backend.
