HTML Stylesheet Help

[Dusen]

I can't seem to get linking to stylesheets working. Can anyone lend a hand?

<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="./stylesheets/sitesyle.css" TITLE="BlueDesign" TYPE="text/css">

should work by my research - it is almost exactly here:

I've even tried

<LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="http://www.domain.com/stylesheets/sitesyle.css" TITLE="BlueDesign" TYPE="text/css">

Is there anything that needs to be in htaccess?

I DO have apache parsing all HTML pages. Would that affect it? I'm lost.

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

Yes, that is bascially what I posted. It's really strange - are there any other requirements here? If I put everything in a <style> tag it looks fine, but as soon as I use that link things muss up.

In fact, sometimes if I reload the browser I can see the page appear correct for a split second before it flashes to the non-style page using the link method. Is thatbecause it's choosing another style or something as default? I read that using "Stylesheet" makes it the "preferred"

Is there compatibility issues with this LINK command? I'm just doing it so the spiders can get to my site content sooner - and changing the style of one css will change the whole site easier as well.

I mean, without this stylesheet formatting the site looks like shit and won't sell anything. So this is important, no matter how ignorant I am about it.
