 * I am trying to create a way for a template user to modify the colors without 
   going into the css.
 * Storing the colors and retrieving them is easy, and get_option is working to 
   retrieve the colors, but I want to be able to call get_option from a php file
   that renders the css. i.e. the file would be colors.php and linked to in the 
   header.php file.
 * How can colors.php call get_option? Are there files I can include at the top 
   of the colors.php to obtain that functionality?
 * Thanks,
 * Andrew

 * I think you can include(“../../../wp-blog-header.php”); but right now, it’s only
   working in one of my php classes, and not the other that I need it to be functional
   in… >.<
