 * Hello, I have a folder called ‘css’ inside my custom theme folder. The normal
   way to link to a css file from the head tag in the header.php file doesn’t work.
   What is the syntax I am supposed to use?
 * By normal way to link to the css file I mean:
 * `<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/global.css" />`
 * Also, does WP have a special way to get the first segment of the url and use 
   it in a conditional?
 * Example:
    <?php if(strcmp($url_segment_1, “about”) == 0) { ?> <link rel=”stylesheet”
   type=”text/css” href=”css/about.css” /> <?php } elseif(…) { … ?>

 * ok, so i found how to get the links working properly, i have to do it this way:
 * `<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory');?
   >/css/global.css" />`
 * But I still would like to know if WP has a special way to get the url segments
   for use in conditionals.
