[wp-hackers] Re: Plugins & CSS, embeded vs linking

[Aaron Brazell]

What's wrong with wp_head? That's a standard hook in the header. Of course,
there's nothing that enforces a theme developer put the wp_head() function
before the closing </head> but most do I think.

function plugin_css()
{
  echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="' . ABSPATH .
'/wp-content/plugin/your-very-nice-plugin/customstyle.css" type="text/css"
/>';
}
add_action('wp_head','plugin_css');
