 * I’ve got a site I started, and for some reason IE8 and Firefox are not able to
   read the CSS at all, even though I’ve not changed anything as far as I can tell
   to do this.
 * When I go ‘preview’ as well it is just blank > but for some reason IE7 can pick
   up and read the CSS fine?
 * [this is the site](http://www.evolutionbusinessservices.co.uk/charlene/blog3/)
 * I’ve tried changing theme then changing back but still isnt working… Any Ideas?
   Its not far in so I can easily restart it but, I’d like to know why its done 
   this so it doesn’t happen again.
 * Thanks,
 * Versipellis

 * You need to add quotes around the Stylesheet URL when importing it:
 * `@import url("http://www.evolutionbusinessservices.co.uk/charlene/blog3/wp-content/
   themes/SAM WPv0.1/style.css");`
 * Though I don’t see why you’re importing it when the stylesheet is on the same
   domain as the page. You could just use:
 * `<link href="http://www.evolutionbusinessservices.co.uk/charlene/blog3/wp-content/
   themes/SAM WPv0.1/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />`

 * I believe you are using [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   incorrectly. Try replacing:
 * > <style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>
   >  [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   > url( [http://www.evolutionbusinessservices.co.uk/charlene/blog3/wp-content/themes/SAM](http://www.evolutionbusinessservices.co.uk/charlene/blog3/wp-content/themes/SAM)
   > WPv0.1/style.css ); </style>
 * with
 * > <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/
   > css” media=”screen” />
