CSS not reflecting in preview

Nothing that I type into the css document is reflected in the preview. Both my index.html and main.css match Nick Pettit's exactly. The file path and file/folder organization in Workspaces is also identical. I'm at the beginning of the CSS section and only have one css rule in the document. I've tried this in Firefox and Chrome with the same result.

Would you mind posting text you have in your HTML and CSS documents? Perhaps there is something a tad off that could be throwing the whole thing for a loop.

I had this problem when I first started. I needed to "Reload the current page", the little semi-circle arrow in the address bar of Firefox. I haven't had the problem since.

I figured it out. Thanks for the quick responses.

I had added .css to the end of the rel="stylesheet" I don't remember adding the .css but I did and with a quick delete all is well.
