Try making 'css/styles.css' its been a whie but I think thats what ended up working for this project. For some reason the style sheet is plural??

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='style.css') }}>
{% %} is when you want to execute Python code, {{ }} is when you want to use a Python variable.

Treehouse Guest Teacherurl_for is a Flask macro, not a Django template tag.

31,225 PointsKenneth Love whats the deal here? the grader doesn't seem to accept the correct answer. I thought I copied exactly what the video taught.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}">

Treehouse Guest TeacherDouble check the instructions for the stylesheet's filename.

31,225 Pointsapparently I misspelled it here but in my code it was correct, but still not passing.
Kenneth Love
Treehouse Guest TeacherI just passed it this morning with your code, the correct filename, and importing the static tag. I'm not sure what could be going wrong outside of those things.
Chris Grazioli
31,225 PointsIt's says Use {% static %} to reference the "css/styles.css" file in the href attribute of the <link> tag. What are we missing?

31,225 Points@Kenneth Love thats exactly what I entered, three different times, I even skipped this section and Its spelled out exactly the same as your saying and I'm typing, later on in the course.
Kenneth Love
Treehouse Guest TeacherThe instructions say to link styles.css (as in more than one style), not style.css. You misspelled the filename.

31,225 PointsThat's really weird! Spent the day brewing today, I'll take a look again tomorrow, but I tried it both ways several times yesterday and with much Aggravation ito my worked as I explained above.

Treehouse Guest TeacherI've tested both <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/styles.css' %}"> and <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static "css/styles.css" %}"> and they both pass. Even <link rel="stylesheet" href="{%static'css/styles.css'%}"> is passing.
