Server side I embed my ccs in the html source file. Javascript is directly embedded. Other than photos, and ads, my visitor's browsers only have to open 1 file to see my web page's content (other than a background image). I've figured since the introduction of CSS, Google, and all GOOD search engines, should see the exact content of my website(s).

With GZIP compression, server side, ONE file is the way to go for maximum performance and openness.

For years Google was not looking at CSS. I thought, why hide CSS in files Google does not read. If Google sees every detail of a website, they will have more confidence in their search results; and thereby a site might have a higher ranking. Now, of course, they do want to see CSS.

Unfortunately, at least for one of my sites, after Oct. 13th this openness is not good enough for Google!
