Adding external CSS in an HTML file

Question

I know I can include CSS on my page like this:

<style>
.style{
   .. 
}
</style>

How do I add an external stylesheet file in an HTML page?

Answer 1

In your HEAD, add:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="your_css_file.css">

the css file itself does not contain <style> tags.
