# CSS not loading

 * Hello everyone,
 * I am a student and have to create a website for my company. Actually I do everything
   local and started to create a index.php and style.css. I already have a problem
   with this. My firebug says that there is no style.css but I have everything in
   the same folder and it should work. I used this for embedding the stylesheet:
 * <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”style.css” type=”text/css”>
 * I know that this worked with another template I made but I already deleted this
   one.
 * It would be so nice if you could help me 🙂

 * You can’t put “style.css” in the href. It has to be a full path like “/wp-content/
   themes/yourTheme/style.css” and you should use a function to get the directory.
   Or even point straight to the style.css file:

 * Is it right this way?:
 * <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php include( get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/wp-
   content/themes/myTheme/style.css’); ?>” type=”text/css”>

 * No, this is:
 *     ```
       <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php get_stylesheet_directory() ?>/style.css" type="text/css">
       ```

 * It still doesn’t work :/
 * This is what my head looks loke actually:
 *     ```
       <head>
       		<meta charset="utf-8">
       		<title>Arakanga GmbH</title>
       		<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php get_stylesheet_directory() ?>/style.css" type="text/css">
       	</head>
       ```
   
 * I don’t understand it because yesterday it worked with the normal HTML embedding.

 * Firebug doesn’t say more. The console is empty there are no warnings or mistakes
   listed. It just says that there is no CSS defined.
 * Can I embed here pictures somehow? Then I could show the console.

 * You can [link to screenshots](http://snag.gy/). What does your HTML render for
   this <link> tag?

 * The Link for the console: [http://snag.gy/AvVZK.jpg](http://snag.gy/AvVZK.jpg)
 * HTML says that the URL was not found on the server.
    “The link [reffering site](http://localhost/wordpress/)
   seems to be wrong or not current.”

 * Can you copy the HTML for your rendered `<link>` tag, as seen in Firebug or when
   you view the source of your Webpage, and paste it here? Thanks.
