You need to "link" the css file into your HTML doc.

You should add the following to your index.html file

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css" type="text/css" media="screen">

If you downloaded the zip file for "Building a Simple Website" there is a CSS folder that contains the pre-written css file" When you specify css/normailze,css" you're telling the index.html to look in the css folder in the same directory as itself.

For example, I created a folder called "01 Projects" Under that I have 2 folders "css" and "img" this contains the css stylesheets and the images needed to complete the Smells Like Bakin' website.

I found it helpful to start with blank pages in my text editor and type out the lesson along with Nick, pausing the video along the way.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help.
