 * I have been taking existing HTML/CSS templates I have and converting them into
   wordpress themes. I run into one error from time to time and would like to know
   how to handle it.
 * When I have a template that has a directory structure
    / index.html style.css
 * there is no issue but when I have
 * /
    index.html fullpage.html /styles layout.css reset.css ie.css /images buncha.
   jpg’s
 * I have issues with layout. I can place a style.css in the / and fix(ish) it but
   I would like to be able to leave all my css in styles folder and just have wordpress
   look there. How can I accomplish this? in my header.php there is `href="<?php
   bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>"` is that where I need to change it or is it somewhere
   else?
 * This is localhost only as that is where I do my development I can put it online
   if needs be.

 * The main stylesheet must be named style.css but you can put it into a directory.
   If you wanted it in /styles, change that line in header.php to
    `href="<?php 
   bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>/styles/"` to make WordPress look in that directory.

 * That worked, I was missing my beginning / such a small thing can be such a pita
   🙂 works now though thank you so much.
