 * Hi,
    Im trying to get an alternate header from a custom template page and a custom
   css style from that page as well. I do not have this page linked to anything 
   else on the localhost(my site) and only want to test the css and template page.
 * This is what I did
 * did page–add page and selected the custom theme template I made.
 * added :
 *  <?php
    /* Template Name: State */ ?>
 *  <?php get_header(‘header_state’); ?>
 * added above to the page. and in the header_state added this:
 * <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?
   >//localhost:8888/cnb_press/wp-content/themes/cnb-zip1/state_style.css” media
   =”screen” />
    To call a custom css.
 * I am not loading the alternate header I created called header_state and am pulling
   my index.php header still. Anybody know why or how I can fix this?
 * Thanks

 * what is the file name of the custom header template?
 * should be _**header-header\_state.php**_
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_header](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_header)
 * also, double check the output of this line:
    `href="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?
   >//localhost:8888/cnb_press/wp-content/themes/cnb-zip1/state_style.css"`
 * the ‘<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>’ part looks a bit redundant.

 * Tried changing the header_state like you said and also several variations of 
   that but I still am not importing my header_state.php header. Any other ideas?

 * Got it!
    Thanks for the help. It was by importing the <?php bloginfo(‘template_url’)
   and it works like a charm. I now have a unique header and unique css. Lets me
   make a completely different looking page for my site just like i wanted.
 * Thanks again for all the help. it makes a huge difference.
    Kudos Rob
