[wp-hackers] Theme updates and generated files

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

For a user-supplied CSS then a child theme is the way to go,
If its however a theme-generated content item, better location is  
wp-content/ or the uploads folder.

The uploads folder is the only location you can trust to be writable  
really too, the fact that some (if not most) shared hosts allow PHP to  
write to its current directory cannot be relied upon.
