1: Search for and insert a blank line above. Copy and paste the following into that blank line.

 

 

Job done for that bit. Save the file and you’re good to go. Oh and before I go, there’s another blog that describes how to force the theme onto a public facing sharepoint foundation site that has anonymous access here:
