# link rel

 * Why does WP use:
    style [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   url(urlhere) /style Instead of link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”screen”
   href=”urlhere” I ask because i read an article in ALA about changing stylesheets
   with javascript, and i would like to try that, but i am not sure if i will break
   something in WP if i change the way it links (or imports) the stylesheet… Thanks,
   Eduardo

 * I am checking it locally, seems fine too. Just wondering why, oh why, in the 
   middle of all those link rels, the devs chose to import the css like that.
