# theme not using style.css

 * made my own theme adapting the default. When adding the css I was putting the
   code at the top of the php files in a <style type=”text/css”>
 * tried to then move the css to the style.css thinking that the php would automatically
   pull the code from there.
 * any help would be very much appreciated.

 * you need a line in header.php to include the style.css file.
 * `<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/
   css" />`
