Hi,

I am trying to set up CSS correctly in Radiant. I have seen two ways  
to do it. One is to upload a CSS file into the stylesheets directory.  
The other is to make a “style” page and use that as the stylesheet.  
When I create the style page using the default CSS - http://  
[method7systems.com/styles.css](http://method7systems.com/styles.css) it loads fine. However, when I call it  
from within a radiant template, it does not. You can see how it is  
loaded at [http://method7systems.com/](http://method7systems.com/) - . Help is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Colin N.

Did you create a CSS layout for use with stylesheets with the content  
type set to “text/css”?

Colin,

Make sure that you edit the slug for your ‘styles’ Page (in Radiant) to  
be ’  
styles.css’. You can find the slug if you click “More” underneath the  
title  
of the page.
