+ABOUT STARK
+-----------
+
+The Stark theme is provided for demonstration purposes; it uses Drupal's default
+HTML markup and CSS styles. It can be used as a troubleshooting tool to
+determine whether module-related CSS and JavaScript are interfering with a more
+complex theme, and can be used by designers interested in studying Drupal's
+default markup without the interference of changes commonly made by more complex
+themes.
+
+To avoid obscuring CSS added to the page by Drupal or a contrib module, the
+Stark theme itself has no styling, except just enough CSS to arrange the page in
+a traditional "Header, sidebars, content, and footer" layout. See the layout.css
+file for more information.
+
+ABOUT DRUPAL THEMING
+--------------------
+
+To learn how to build your own custom theme and override Drupal's default code,
+you should start reading the Theming Guide: http://drupal.org/theme-guide
+
+See the sites/all/themes/README.txt for more information on where to place your
+custom themes to ensure easy maintenance and upgrades.

+ *
+ * This layout method works reasonably well, but shouldn't be used on a

+ * (one that is wider than 20% of the viewport) is in a sidebar, the entire
+ * #main content can shift completely below the sidebar.
