The correct way of exporting blogger css to external file.

I knew that blogger page load time can increase due to the CSS(Cascading Style Sheet)in the Blogger Template

There exists a lot of tutorials on how to do this but none of the work as I found out.

What you need?

1. A CDN enabled host or it will be slow(the best free CDN google !(upload to google sites))

Steps for doing so....

1. Open blogger dashboard (http://blogger.com).
2. Navigate to Design >  EDIT HTML.
3. In the Back/Restore Template , click Download Template and keep it safe in case anything goes wrong!
4. Now hit Ctrl + F and in the search box type , <b:skin><![CDATA[
5. Copy everything after ![CDATA[   until ]]></b:skin>.
6. Now open notepad and paste everyting into it , the text must look like this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12158677/hth/main.css.It is just an example , it WILL NOT be the same with your CSS.
7. Now save the file as main.css (P.S:-While saving in windows include double quotes i.e type this "main.css"
8. Now upload your file to a host , I use dropbox , get it here.
9. Now delete everything after ![CDATA[   until ]]></b:skin>

It must now look like this 

<b:skin><![CDATA[

]]></b:skin>

Now immediately before <b:skin><![CDATA[

add this...

<link charset='utf-8' href='http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12158677/hth/main.css' media='screen' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>

Replace your URL there (in place of http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12158677/hth/main.css).

In your My Dropbox folder , go to Public folder and save the main.css from notepad there and then Right click the file and in Dropbox , Click Copy Public Link.(Dropbox DESKTOP must be running).

Now hit the save template and it will work....
