163 PointsCannot link properly to CSS
I have tried to follow the videos and create a basic webpage. I have created documents in a separate 'CSS' folder titled 'grid.css' and 'normalize.css' and linked to them in my main file 'index.html'. I have tried to use normalize and grid to change the layout but nothing seems to happen.

29,275 PointsYou forgot to close your first img tag, you need to put the class omega in the quotes with grid_5, and the last error that I see is that you need to close your grid_7 div by putting a > at the end of it.

163 PointsThe document should appear with <!DOCTYPE html> etc. at the top (it has been changed to the categories I created).
