style.css is not affecting my theme

    I am trying to make a theme for my site. I cannot get my style.css to affect the pages.

    I have the following in my header.php file:

    <head>
<title>Saguaro Scuba blog</title>
<link rel="style sheet" href="wp-content/themes/saguaroscuba/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
</head>

    I view source on my blog and it shows the css and the title of the page changes. As a test I just made a simple h1 element and style it orange to see if it took, but it didn’t.

    h1 {
	color:orange;
}

    I’m sure I’m missing something easy here.

  • instead of:

    <link rel="style sheet" href="wp-content/themes/saguaroscuba/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

    try to use:

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php bloginfo( 'stylesheet_url' ); ?>" />

    What about for images directory and etc? How do I say

    <img src="path/to/images/image.png" />

    ?

    <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/banner_temp.jpg" />

    That worked.
