Hi,

The following would make the exported HTML link to an external stylesheet.

#+STYLE: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="my_style.css"/>

But that 's not what you're after? You want the stylesheet to be 
/outside/ (linked from) your Org file, but /embedded in/ the exported 
HTML? Did I get that right?
