 * Automatically removes comments, new lines, tabs, and gzip compresses (GZIP) any
   CSS file called with “<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>”
 * Just activating the plugin with the default Kubrick theme will reduce the CSS
   file from 8k to 1.7k.
 * [CSS Compress](http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/css-compress)
 * **Be Aware**: This plugin is very beta. There is a chance it will do something
   odd, or just not work. If that happens turn it off and drop a line here or submit
   a ticket at wp-plugins.org.
 * Also, I’m currently planning on upgrading the plugin with the ability to compress
   CSS that is called via [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   commands.

 * Cool. Will it also **decompress** the file when you want to edit it?

 * It only compresses it when browsers call it. The file on your server is never
   modified.

 * Doh, I guess that’s kind of important to note, eh?
 * Yeah, the file on is compressed **on the fly** when called with the built in 
   WP function “<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>”
 * _The actual file is not modified_, so you can use returns, tabs, and comments
   galore and not worry about the file size getting to large because you have wordy
   comments. (And you get no excuse to not comment 😉 )

 * Slick… I wonder if this would function in my situation.
 * For a school, I manage multiple “nested” blogs. IE, there’s a main school site
   and many departments and clubs have their own blogs which are linked to from 
   the main blog. The css file in the “sub-blogs” contains just a import statement
   of the primary site CSS files so I can make global changes by editing only one
   CSS file.
 * Would this plugin also do the compression of imported CSS files?

 * dherren: no, not yet. I’m working on that feature though, so check back next 
   version ;D
