It's hard to say what the issue could be as I'm not sure what you have been trying in your css, but off the top of my head you should verify that style.css exists in the css directory.

You are also missing a <section> start tag.

Looks like you are missing your opening and closing head and body tags.

Be sure you created the folder "css" and the main.css is in it.
