CSS not showing up solution

I had a very frustrating couple of minutes where my CSS wasn't showing up regardless of having the code typed correctly. I emptied my browsers cache and WALLA, it's there. So anyone every having issues with code you know is correct not showing up; EMPTY YOUR CACHE.

That is all.

You can always use htaccess caching headers http://davidwalsh.name/html5-boilerplate-htaccess check out the Expires section.

Also you can append <?php echo time(); ?> to the href this is called cache busting. Example:

<html>
<head>
  <link href="/my/path.css?<?php echo time(); ?>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Yes! Thank you! Driving me crazy!
