After going through the steps above I just get a blank screen whenever I try and activate treehouse-portfolio.

As soon as I try and activate the 'treehouse-portfolio' theme I immediately get a blank Dashboard. Only by renaming the folder treehouse-portfolio to something else do I get the Dashboard back again. I have been through this twice but cannot see where I am going wrong

-Oops Sorry folks! I have found the error with a little help from WP_DEBUG. I had missed out a semi-colon in the functions.php file on the 'wp_enqueue_scripts' line.

Thanks. After reading your post. I searched my functions.php, and realized that I was missing "(" after an _uri. Added it, and...voila!

Glad you got it! Errors like that can often come from the functions.php file ;)

WP_DEBUG solved my problem too. It can be found under wp-config and it should be switched to true: ('WP_DEBUG', "true");
