css link bad

I have asked other people and they say that all my grid problems come from the link of my index.html and CSS but that would cause all my grids to stop working and it is only some of them that dont work well, what do I do?

Could you please provide some code so we have a little bit more of a reference :)

See the "Tips for asking questions" video to the right of the page for some good tips on posting code and other things :)

It's all good. It looks like you didn't even link it lol. Does the following code appear anywhere in your code on the index page? I didn't see it.
