Theme doesn't read style sheet

Hi,

I’ve searched all day and I simply can not find a solution to my problem.
It seems to be fairly simple and I’m guessing I’m overlooking something.

WordPress is a new CMS for me and I’ve started to make a Theme from scratch for a customer. Now my problem starts at the very beginning.

The theme doesn’t load the CSS style sheet, in any browser. Yes I’ve refreshed, cleared cache, added PHP lines to reload. None of it works.

Now I’ve broken it down to very simple coding and that doesn’t work either.

Some details, I’m running it on a LocalHost.

Broken down, Code at the moment:
CSS from style.css:
/*
Theme Name: Bare_Bones
Theme URI: blank
Description: Theme created for development custom wordpress themes.
Author: blank
*/

#header {
background-color: #F00;
height: 250px;
width: 1024px;
border: thin solid #000;
}
#content {
background-color: #F60;
height: 250px;
width: 1024px;
border: thin solid #000;
}
#sidebar {
background-color: #6C6;
height: 250px;
width: 1024px;
border: thin solid #000;
}
#footer {
background-color: #06C;
height: 250px;
width: 1024px;
border: thin solid #000;
}

———————————-

And as far as the Div tags go, thats about it too.

Please just tell me I’m stupid and show me what I am doing wrong.

Thank you in advanced!
