[wp-hackers] requesting information about wp_*_style functions

[Callum Macdonald]

I'm not sure why wp_print_styles() is not called automatically. So my
approach is normally like this.

function krusty_init(){
    if(file_exists(get_template_directory()) . '/tweaks.css'){
        wp_enqueue_style('krusted-plugstyles',
get_bloginfo('template_url')
. '/tweaks.css', array(), '', 'screen');
    }
    add_action('wp_head', 'wp_print_styles');
}
add_action('init', 'krusty_init');

I reckon wp_print_styles should be called at wp_head anyway, so I
typically hook it in there, and then use it as I would use the
wp_*_script functions.

Cheers - Callum.
