It's can be really tricky to understand when you start. I remember spending ages trying to get this to work, Adam is right you need to add a link to the .css file. You do this in the head section of your .html file, I put it just under the title tags.

Looks like this a bit

<head>
<title>My Webpage</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="normalize.css">
</head>

Just remember to keep it in the same folder as your HTML file. As you add more style sheets (.css files) you'll find you need to organise the folder a bit like you would your documents. Hope that helps?

add it to your project with a <link> tag. Put it above your own CSS linked on your page.
