On September 21, 2012, our LEED Platinum Plaque was finally hung. 204-206 East Girard Ave has been certified LEED Platinum, the highest level of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). This makes the pair of buildings the first LEED Platinum mixed-use rehab in Pennsylvania. The 5,720-squarefoot project includes two ground-floor storefronts – one of which serves as the office for web design and development company, YIKES, Inc – and four apartments on the second and third floors.

We were so fortunate to have such a great team helping us to meet this goal. Stop by and check out the shining new plaque.

Tracy Levesque presented on Creating Custom Child Themes for WordPress at this year’s WordCamp Montreal. Attendees learned how to safely change the look-and-feel of WordPress sites using Child Themes, without modifying the core code of your theme. Tracy walked through the steps of creating a child theme via slides and a live demo. CSS modification, template modification, include tags, conditional tags, creating your own page templates and modifying functions.php were all covered.
