    Hey everyone:

    I would like to have two slightly different versions of one theme on two different sites in my multisite network.

    Suppose my theme is called "mytheme" and is a genesis-compatible child theme.

    Do I just copy the whole myname theme folder, rename it to "mytheme-2", and paste it back into the theme folder (alongside genesis and mytheme folders)?

    Will I need to change anything else?

    Thanks in advance.
