 * I have coded a very simple WP theme, and for some reasons the CSS style wont 
   work. Please can someone see a problem in my code? The blog is at [http://www.ges-net.com/wp](http://www.ges-net.com/wp)
   and the scripts are:
 * INDEX.PHP
    ========= [http://www.ges-net.com/index.txt](http://www.ges-net.com/index.txt)
 * STYLE.CSS
    ========= [http://www.ges-net.com/style.txt](http://www.ges-net.com/style.txt)

 * The style is “style.css”. Do I have to LINK it in or something? I thought it 
   did that automatically?

 * Well of course you’d have to call it up within a template file, the header.php
   file I’d say.. It will do it automatically if you have a link or call tag, calling
   it in for the blog lol!
 * Plain Jane one:
    `<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/
   themes/yourtheme/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />`
 * One from in a header.php file:
    `<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('
   stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />`

 * Learn about the “anatomy of a theme” – even if it’s a simple one:

 * Ah, I realise my problem. Before, I was LINKing it in, but using “style.css” 
   rather than “[http://www.domain.com&#8221](http://www.domain.com&#8221); etc.
   and it didnt work so I removed it! Thankyou!
