 * when creating a child theme of presentation-lite (or any other theme for that
   matter), use the technique outlined in this [article](https://ulrich.pogson.ch/how-to-load-the-parent-styles-in-child-themes)
   if you want to call in both the parent and child style sheets in the child theme
   and eliminate the use of the [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   function. This allows my theme to run quite nicely in IE8, I guess if you do 
   not worry about IE8, then using this method is not as critical. However, this
   method does not load the CSS styles in an order that loads the child style sheet
   last. If you want to be able to change any of the previous CSS style code, then
   you must load the child style CSS file last.
 * Chris Coyier just wrote an [article](http://css-tricks.com/taking-control-cssjs-wordpress-plugins-load/)
   on his website css-tricks that uses the WordPress plugin called “minqueue”. I
   tried this and it works nicely to minify and order the CSS files in the order
   that you want them. If you only include the child theme style.css file in the
   minqueue input, then that file is last in order of all of the CSS files. Another
   solution found to my problem,
