linking to an external .css file

[Jason]

I have decided to use a css file to combat my problem with having to load a new menu inevery page each time i update one, so i will use a css-type menu that google can use. I was just wondering what the code is that i will need to use call the styles/menu into each page?
Is it something like

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/main/styles.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="/main/print-styles.css" />

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I will use an online generator for both these parts like

and

Would I be right in adding the individual button codes to the css pages as well?
Thankyou in advance, I really appreciate it!
Jason

You need that for xhtml.
