# CSS call on custom header

 * Hi, I have a couple of years in which I don’t code and I’ve forgot pretty much
   about everything. Geez!
 * So I want to do a custom template in my normal theme. This template is meant 
   to have its own header and footer. So I’ve created the header. However I also
   have a custom css file specifically done for this template… and I don’t know 
   how to call it!
 * The default header has this css call:
    `<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
   href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" media="screen" />`
 * I put this in my alternate header:
    `<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href
   ="<?php bloginfo(TEMPLATEPATH . 'my_custom.css'); ?>" media="screen" />`
 * Surprisingly enough it doesn’t work. Can you direct me here please?

 * In which directory is your file, ‘my_custom.css’?

 * Hi Andrew,
 * the ‘my_custom.css’ is in the same folder as all the php template files (the 
   main theme folder). If possible I want to put it in a styles folder within this
   folder.

 * Try this;
 *     ```
       <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/my_custom.css" media="screen" />
       ```
