CSS Fail

All my new CSS code from the lesson has absolutely no effect on my project. No orange background, no centered text...nothing. Any suggestions?

Also, make sure that you have properly linked your .css file to your .html file

I suggest you try validating the code for errors in code at the following website: https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ And as for the errors I to too had intial problems with workspaces which slowly were sorted out automatically. Try clearing browser cache and don't forget to save the code. All the best!:)

Thanks Stephen! I did try validating and no errors were found. I have also cleared my cache. Still no change but I hope it will sort itself out automatically like it did for you. :)

Hi Charlene,

Are you able to paste your code or make a snap shot of it?

Normally when this kind of thing happens it's a simple mistake such as miss typing something. Make sure you have correctly included the css file in your html document.

Hope this helps.
