Re: Bringing the Green Web to WordPress [via Sustainable Web Design Community Group]

Hey Pete,

You can get embed code here:
https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/green-web-check/

It's not the WordPress plugin but if you want to display the badge on your
site, you can do it that way.

Also, we've been exploring a few new ways to better utilize Ecograder data
in ways similar to this. Just need to find the resources/time to build
those out. :-|
