 * Hello,
    It would be a better practice if you could generate a CSS file without
   query strings.
 * Other than that, awesome plugin.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi tech55541,
 * Thanks for the positive feedback!
 * One of the main features of this plugin is that it doesn’t actually generate 
   a file to keep things light. Is there a specific reason why you would prefer 
   it to not use query strings?
 * Thanks!

 * If it is in a file, it would be easier for uploading. For example, I have a lot
   of code in custom CSS right now, it almost crashes Firefox and Internet Explorer
   just trying to open it because there is so much code.
 * I also think query strings are bad for loading time. See this post.
