How does one load a CSS framework in Rails 3.1?

Question

I am trying to load a CSS framework, Blueprint, onto my Rails 3.1 application.

In Rails 3.0+, I would have something like this in my views/layouts/application.html.e

A different way of doing things:

Make app/assets/stylesheets/custom.css

Then change custom.css to use the files needed:

/*
 *= require_self
 *= require 'colorbox/colorbox'
 *= require 'uploadify'
 *= require 'scaffold'
 *= require 'main'
*/

Finally change the link tag in your layout (make sure to remove the "application" stylesheet)

= stylesheet_link_tag    "custom"

You can then add any other stylesheet manually (like "ie" specific) and other groups of stylesheets (like blueprint to load all blueprint files...)

You might also need (in your production.rb)

  # Precompile additional assets (application.js, application.css, and all non-JS/CSS are already added)
  config.assets.precompile += %w(custom.css)
