Is it possible/good practice to use <link href""> to include stylesheets outside of the <head> tag, or do they only work / should they be only used in <head>?
<link href"">
<head>
It's possible to do it.
It's not recommended to do it, because whatever content comes before the <link> will start rendering and then when the stylesheet is loaded will be rerendered with the new styles. That means that the pageload will be slower (because the browser has to redo all that work) and uglier (because there will be this flash of content with one style that's then restyled to look different).
<link>
