[Radiant] Pages, Snippets and Layouts Coordination

[Jason Broom]

I'm seeking a clarification on the relationships between Pages, Snippets and
Layouts when it comes to CSS. I'm unable to visualize how Radiant mashes a
Page named 'Styles' containing CSS, associates it with a Layout that only
has the Radiant tag r:content /, then somehow maps to the div structures
in the Layout named 'Normal'.

 

Is it because the Page 'Styles' is slugged 'styles.css', and the Layout
'Stylesheet' is a context-type text/css

 

I know this is Radiant 101, but thinking of CSS as a Page is not intuitive,
as I equate Pages with navigation. Would I be better off skipping CSS as a
Page, and just link rel=stylesheet somewhere in the metaverse? 

 

Just looking for some insights from those with deeper experience.

 

Thanks.

that's my preferred way; not to mention spending a database lookup
(actually more than one) and having your css expire from the cache
every five minutes aren't what you'd call performant.
