You can always move your css-settings to an eternal css-file with <link
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="my_style.css">, and specify that
tag
in your templates TOP-section.

Remember that if you place this file in the web-space (public_html/css
etc)
you wont be able to use ic-tags here. But if you put it inside your
catalog
as a html-file (my_style.html), then things get different. That page is
then
parsed through ic, and it should take ic-tags etc. without problems.

On a busy site I would suggest that you don't place that file inside
your
catalog, but in the web-space. That saves IC from parsing that file on
every
page-load.

Rene,

Are you saying it is more efficient to have the linkrel in the top html
then? I have just set it so the linkrel is in theme.cfg although I am
still waiting for it to update.

The href is currently set to "/catalog/blue.css"

I presume that same href would still work in the html without specifying
the full path?

Regards,
Andy.
