Hello,
I am currently working on the project, "Build a Simple Website" regarding "Smells Like Bakin'" cupcakes.
While doing so, Nick had asked us to download a file from github, which I did from here: https://github.com/necolas/normalize.css/
Instead of the folder / file having the following name: css/normalize.css,
it was downloaded under the following name: normalize.css-master, under the name: normalize.css".
I therefore linked normalise.css to the HTML page using the following: <link rel="stylesheet" href="normalize.css-master/normalize.css" type="text/css" media="screen"> - which worked fine.
At this point, I wasn't too sure whether I downloaded the wrong file or why the names were different.
Anyhow, after a few videos, Nick had asked us to open up the grid.css file. I am however not able to locate this file as it is not in the "narmalize.css-master folder. Have I downloaded the wrong zip altogether?
Not sure if I was meant to change the name of the folder to css, or if I have genuinely downloaded the wrong zip.
Your help is appreciated!
Thanks

Basically, you just forgot/missed to download the grid.css. http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-website/creating-a-website-structure/adding-grid-css
Follow the link and download the project files, extract the grid and link it to your own build of Smells like bakin.

Courses Plus Student 9,711 PointsHi Christo, I'm wondering if you could help with this. I'm stuck in the part where Nick adds <div class="container"> In the "Smells Like Bakin Cupcake Company" task, more specifically the part in which we start linking our normalize.css and grid.css files, I have already downloaded the project files as well. He then says to refresh the browser, and the proper changes occur to the page, when I refresh my browser, nothing has changed, I have checked my code, and it is exactly like it is shown by Nick in the exercise.
