Multiple style sheets in a theme?

Hi –

I have a special style sheet for the footer because it needs different color links. However, my main style sheet seems to override the second style sheet, or the second style sheet isn’t being applied.

this is what I have in all pages:
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”all” href=”<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/style.css” />

on my footer page I have:
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”all” href=”<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/style_footer.css” />

Is this possible? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!
