css not linked to template

Hi

Could someone help me figure out why my css will not link to the template.
As we all know, to work on a new template, you just copy the available ones (blog/default), you change the name of the folder
then you start modifying.

Well, all that done, the css file that resides in the css/ folder is not read by the items.php, thus not applyied.

I did not touch the item.xml, so the reference to the css is well(?) referred.

help please
thx

well, in the hope to find somebody to help
I have discovered the reason.

some additional plugin was creating conflict.
I do not have time to investigate, but I know it is related with rockettheme latest template, reaction and the gantry framework they use, or the rokgzip plugin they have.

When I unpublished them, all worked.

Also FlexiContent does not seem to like to share space with jseblod (a CCK which is also very powerful, but a little bit more complexe to understand....)

so here is the answer.
If you have looked in the matter, thx anyway.
