 * I am building my own theme. I am trying to link my external header.css style 
   sheet in my html file, but can not figure out why it is not working. header.css
   is located in wp-content/blank-Theme/css/header.css I have tried the normal way
   of linking….
 * `<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/header.css" type="text/css"`
 * but that didn’t work. I have done a search on the forums and found one that matched
   what i was trying to do. The answer recommended doing this bit of code below,
   but even that didn’t work…
 *     ```
       <title>Untitled Document</title>
       <link href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/header.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
       </head>
       ```
   
 * Does anyone know how to link an external style sheet? My style.css is getting
   way to overcrowded. My website is timwilsonsblog.com (if you need it) , but it
   manly just has filler text and still needs a lot of work, so don’t judge me ;

 * you need to add the /css/ folder into this one:
 *     ```
       <link href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/css/header.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
       ```
