How to Version a Stylesheet in WordPress

wp_enqueue_style() is your friend

In your theme, you should be using the wp_enqueue_style() function instead of calling your stylesheet directly in your header.php file. Use something like this in your theme's functions.php file:

<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_stylesheet' );

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 0xcbcb082a1bb943db
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/repo/5.5/ubuntu precise main'
