ducks.css is now in the Manifest
OK
How does your HTML know how to use my selectors?

If the CSS was designed as part of the HTML and includes the appropriate Link entries.
You should zip all the Pieces (HTML files, Images,CSS) into a ZIP file before importing into Calibre.
The key is the HTML-CSS work together before you added to Calibre.

If you CSS only applies to standard HTML tags, you can insert the contents into Extra CSS in the Look and feel section of the Conversion Screen.
