title: Using CSS in Laravel views?
body: <p>I've just began learning Laravel, and can do the basics of a controller and routing.</p>
  
  <p>My OS is Mac OS X Lion, and it's on a MAMP server.</p>
  
  <p>My code from routes.php:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Route::get('/', function() {
      return View::make('home.index');
  });
  
  Route::get('businesses', function() {
      return View::make('businesses.index');
  });
  
  Route::get('testing', function() {
      return View::make('testing.index');
  });        
  
  Route::get('hello', function() {
      return "&lt;h3&gt;Hello world!&lt;/H3&gt;";
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That works, the views display perfectly, ''however'' what I want to try and do is include CSS within the views, I tried adding in a link to a stylesheet within the directory but the page displayed it as the default browser font even though the css was in the HTML!</p>
  
  <p>This is index.php from businesses within the views folder:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;head&gt;
     &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  
  &lt;p&gt;Business is a varied term. My content here.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried using the Blade template engine in my other views folder (testing) to display CSS but again the CSS did not show despite it being in the testing folder!</p>
  
  <p>How can I overcome this problem, and get better - as I'm slowly learning this framework.</p>
