Default CSS Optmization - How do I change CSS File name in header of all pages?

[Beama]

Hello,

I just launch my site, and I'm looking to streamline it a bit. I have been trying to find out a good way to compress my CSS files...which are pretty large.
I found this site after some searching and though it looks like a pretty good method. But I am not quite sure how to implement it into Zen Cart.

The part I am unsure of is how to: "update the path to the CSS file in the head of your HTML or PHP file to point to the styles.php file that you created"

Does this look like a good way to you? Maybe this could help a lot of people...but I can't figure out how to do this.

Thanks for you time,

Adrian

If you keep the name stylesheet.css and location (includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css

Then there is nothing more you need to do.

Zen Cart will find your optimized stylesheet as it normally does.

The recommendation that this guy gives is to:

..."create a file called styles.php in the same folder as your CSS files."

then you place the php code he has created, and...

"You will then need to update the path to the CSS file in the head of your HTML or PHP file to point to the styles.php file that you created."

That's why I would like to know how to change Css File name in header. I'm not just trying to optimize the code that is in the stylesheet.

Here are a couple of on-line optimizers that don't require anything more than inputing your stylesheet information and getting an optimized version of the same file.

Thank you. What I was also trying to do is compress the CSS files with GZip or something.
