    seems to be something simple but has now burned over an hour trying to find a solution.

    I am doing a first attempt at building a custom site/theme. I cannot for the life of me figure out why the CSS is have no effect on the page. Granted, the page is unfinished and a mess, but the CSS should be showing.

    I can hit the style.ccs file directly no problem.

    I’ve reviewed other posts here, but none of them seem to provide a straight answer.

    Current Version of WP.

    You appear to be missing the ‘rel’ attribute in your external stylesheet reference.

    Try replacing line 33 with:
    <link href="http://www.squidzink.net/wordpress/wp-content/themes/squidz/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />

    You also don’t really need to specify the media unless you have an alternate stylesheet (i.e., one for print).

    oh my frickin’frickity! Man, thanks a mil for seeing that. I guess I zapped it when putting in the PHP calls. What a bunch of burned midnight oil.

    Works nicely now and let me see that I’m on the right track. Onward through the fog!
