how to add custom css

[justinblayney]

Hello,

I would like to add a custom CSS file to my Magento theme, I found a few references online to putting a custom.css file in the css folder. But when I search my Magento build, I found 20 CSS folders, which one do I add the CSS file

I installed a theme as per this thread

There are two way to add css to head one is  using function addCss and another is addItem.

<action method="addCss"><stylesheet>css/javcustom.css</stylesheet></action>

<action method="addItem"><type>skin_css</type><name>css/javcustom.css</name></action>
