This adds your custom stylesheet as a linked stylesheet alongside the OPAC’s default CSS files. This method is preferable because linked stylesheets are cached by the user’s browser, meaning upon repeat visits to your site the user’s browser will not have to re-download the stylesheet, instead using the copy in the browser’s cache.
If you would rather, you can upload your CSS to another server and enter the full URL pointing to it’s location remember to begin the URL with http://
