# Link external style sheet using Custom CSS window?

 * First, I must concur with others here that Suffusion is an excellent theme – 
   thanks sayontan!
 * Here’s my (probably dumb) question: Rather than enter all my custom CSS directly
   in the administration panel, can I add just a one-line reference to my own external
   stylesheet, e.g. mycustom.css? I’m not sure what the syntax should be because
   I don’t understand how this form field is referenced within the theme.
 * Thanks,
    Sky

 * That’s quite easy actually.
    1. Create your mycustom.css file **outside** the
   suffusion folder in wp-content/themes. 2. In the same options page as Custom 
   CSS, you will see options called “First Additional Stylesheet link” etc. Put 
   in your stylesheet’s full URL over there. E.g. [http://my-domain.com/styles/mycustom.css](http://my-domain.com/styles/mycustom.css).
   Ensure that you can actually access the CSS file by entering it in your browser’s
   address bar. 3. Save. This should work.

 * You’re awesome sayotan, thanks for the quick reply This reminds me – I tend to
   use relative URLs, e.g. “../styles/myfile.css” versus the entire http string.
   Is there any clear need or advantage for using the entire string? Best regards
