When I build a site, I always make changes to the style.css file. I always add, modify or remove styles, but there was a problem. When someone came to see my site they would see an old version of the site because their browser would cache the style.css file. In order to avoid this, I came up with this drupal recipe or theme snippet.

This php snippet is useful for customizing the behavior of the "My account" link. Sometimes you want to place a login link in one of the menus.
