Guys - I've deployed a test project onto one of our web servers, and it doesn't appear that the CSS file is taking correctly. The page loads fine, but the styles aren't there. It looked fine in debug. Any thoughts on what's going on? I'm sure there is an easy solution, but I'm very new to the ASP.NET world.

Have a look at the rendered HTML and you should see where the problem is. My guess is that the ~ isn't providing the path to the root application as the code you hagve pasted above is just HTML and therefore the server won't know about it.
If that is the case, you could add runat="server" to the above control or you can use a relative or absolute path to the css file.

ca8msm -- Rendered shows the path correctly:

I changed the way .master calls the CSS form on the recommendation of someone else, but either way it still isn't working. Here is the entire .master file:
