Do you use external style sheets?

I use them. I use css in pretty much all forms. In tags, in the document and linked.

Sure I do.

I think it is stupid not to use them external, because this makes the update process slower.

One of the basic principles of programming is not writing the same thing here and there

I agree completely! And it cuts down bandwidth usage too.

It can add too if linked to pages not using it but its size is usaully under 2-10kb.

I use external. Part of the reason I use css at all is because of the external style sheet. It makes editing large sites WAY easier.

I always use an external stylesheet. Sometimes I write the CSS in my html file while I am developping the site and then I'll move it to an external stylesheet once I am done the design. I find it is easier for editing.

I will use external stylesheets, it isn't hard to do and there are so many benefits.

I tend to use them in the header while creating & testing, but once the page looks the way I want, I kick it out to it's own file.   

External. Code once, reuse on entire site. Keeps things consistant looking that way.

Also helps internal site pages load quicker.

I think keeping it external also helps the poor old search engines and makes it easier to crawl through you code.

That was my understanding as well.

I used to always use one, but for this layout, I didn't. I don't really know why. I guess I could use an external style sheet. Meh.
